Tomato Eggplant Zucchini Bake With Garlic And Parmesan Recipes

ITALIAN EGGPLANT, ZUCCHINI AND TOMATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Chop eggplant first, and sprinkle the eggplant pieces with 1 teaspoons of the salt. Set this aside to sit while you chop the other veggies.
• After about 15-20 minutes, place the salted eggplant in a colander and rinse it under cool water to remove the salt and bitter juices. Pat dry with a paper towel.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Add the chopped onion and carrot and mix into the oil. Add the garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes.
• Add the Italian seasoning. Add the zucchini, and saute another 2 minutes. Add the eggplant, saute another 2 minutes, and then add the tomatoes. Remove from heat.
• Season the vegetable mixture in the pan with the remaining salt and pepper. Whisk the egg, add it to the pan and mix this through the veggies, along with 1 Tb. of the parmesan cheese and the optional 1/2 cup of TVP.
• Pour the veggie mixture from the pan into a casserole dish, and top off with the remaining 1 Tb. cheese and the breadcrumbs.
• Cover the dish with foil or a lid, and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until nicely browned.

TOMATO EGGPLANT ZUCCHINI BAKE WITH GARLIC AND PARMESAN RECIPE - (3.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a deep 9x9-inch baking dish or similar 3 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Quarter the zucchini then cut into 1/2-inch slices and place in a large mixing bowl (each piece of zucchini should be roughly 1/2-3/4 inches in size). Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds, then stack the rounds and cut into roughly 3/4-inch pieces. Add to the bowl with the zucchini. Half the cherry tomatoes and add to the bowl. Drizzle the cut vegetables with the olive oil, then add the garlic, salt, pepper, 1/3 cup of the Parmesan cheese, and half of the basil and parsley. Toss gently to combine. Transfer the vegetables to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes, cover the pan with aluminum foil, then continue baking for 10-20 additional minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese, basil, and parsley. Serve warm.
