Ingrédients
For assembling
- 1 pack (454 g) of SAVOURA cocktail tomatoes or ½ pack (907 g) of SAVOURA Saladio tomatoes
- 2 green zucchinis
- 2 yellow zucchinis
- 1 eggplant
- 1 red onion
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
For the Topping
- 60 ml (¼ cup) plain breadcrumbs
- 60 ml (¼ cup) panko breadcrumbs
- 60 ml (¼ cup) grated Parmesan cheese
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) fresh thyme, chopped
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) fresh parsley, chopped
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) garlic, finely chopped
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) melted butter
Préparation
- Preheat your oven to 220 °C (425 °F) and get ready for a burst of flavours!
- Slice the tomatoes, zucchinis, eggplant, and onion into delightful ½ cm thick rounds.
- Lightly grease a 23 cm (9 in) round baking dish with a dash of olive oil for extra flavour.
- Creatively arrange the vegetable slices in the dish, alternating colours and slightly overlapping for a stunning visual appeal. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the taste!
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and let it bake for 25 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften beautifully.
- While those veggies are getting cozy in the oven, prepare a scrumptious topping! Mix the plain breadcrumbs, panko, Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, parsley, garlic, and melted butter in a bowl until they are well combined and fragrant.
- After the baking time, take off the foil and generously sprinkle the crunchy topping over the softened vegetables. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the topping turns a glorious golden brown and crispy.
