One of the things I always miss most when summer fades is the variety of yummy seasonal fruits and veggies. Lately, I can’t seem to get enough zucchini or yellow squash. I snack on at least one a day (usually sliced and sauteed with some garlic and olive oil). Here’s a delectable baked dish where I combine some of my favorite veggies.
You have to give this a try! It’s a fabulous side dish… or even a main dish!
The colorful stars…
Slice veggies lengthwise then drizzle with EVOO and salt & pepper.
My grill pan was a Christmas gift a few years back and I LOVE IT. Especially when it’s 111 outside (or when the Grillmaster is busy in his office working).
Fennel- another of of my favorite veggies! SO GOOD- raw or grilled!
Layer in a 9x12 baking dish (just like lasagna), start with the sauce on the bottom and add cheese along the way.
I used grated parmesan, reduced fat shredded mozzarella, and a good jar of marinara sauce.
Top with both cheeses and cover with plain bread crumbs. Then drizzle with EVOO for a crispy top.
Bake at 375 for 30-35 mins.
Obviously, I’m no photographer and the picture does NOT do this justice…
However, let me assure you, this dish is just straight up, AMAZING.
The flavor of the grilled veggies in all their juices, plus the crispy gooey top…
… even the left-overs are equally scrumptious!

This looks amazing and so delicious. Now, I am hungry =)
Can't wait to try it! AND . . . I had a blast catching up on your blog since we've been on vacay.
