Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 1 large eggplant, thinly sliced
  • 4 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Arrange the sliced zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, and onion in alternating layers in the prepared baking dish.
