This amazing side dish is not only easy and completely beautiful, it's also healthy. What a great way to impress your guests and friends with a side dish that requires minimum efforts. My favorite.
Ingredients
  • 1 Medium-Large Sweet Potato
  • 2 Zucchinis
  • 1½ Onion - Divided
  • 2 Roma Tomatoes
  • 2 Garlic Cloves - Minced
  • 2½ Tbsp Olive Oil – Divided
  • ½ Tbsp Dry Thyme
  • ½ Tbsp Dry Basil
  • ¼ Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (Optional – for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C)
  2. Cut the sweet potato, zucchini & ½ Onion in half length-wise, and slice into ¼ inch slices and set aside.
  3. Slice the Roma tomatoes into ¼ inch thick slices and set aside
  4. In a pan, over medium high heat place 1 Tbsp olive oil. Chop the remaining 1 onion and sauté in the pan while stirring, until translucent.
  5. Add in the minced garlic and mix together for another 30 seconds (garlic burns fast) and remove from heat.
  6. Prepare a 9-9.5 inch Pyrex dish and place the sautéed onion and garlic on the bottom of the dish. Spread evenly.
  7. Start placing the sliced veggies in the dish on top of the sautéed onions. You can place the veggies in any pattern you want (I went with sweet potato, zucchini, tomato, onion and repeated the pattern all around the dish).
  8. Once you’re done setting up the veggies, sprinkle them with thyme and basil and them drizzle with the remaining 1 ½ Tbsp olive oil on top.
  9. Cover with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
  10. After 35 minutes, remove the foil (sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese if you’re using it for this recipe) and bake for another 20-25 minutes.
