Baked Vegetables au Gratin – Quick and Tasty

A delicious and hearty dish of vegetables, a vegan dish, perfect as a side dish, vegetarian main course, or a single dish for a light and low-protein meal, with potatoes, zucchini, onions, and tomatoes, made special with au gratin and oven-baked cooking flavored with the fragrant seasoning of dried oregano, garlic, and olive oil. It does not take much to make baked vegetables special, just quality ingredients like good Calabrian Silane potatoes, Tropea red onions, local zucchini, and tasty tomatoes, then a good Calabrian olive oil and abundant oregano that I go pick in the woods myself will make the difference. In just a few minutes, everything is neatly arranged in the tray, and in about half an hour in the oven, the magic happens. When the timer bell rings and you open the oven door, an intense aroma is released and fills every part of the house, intoxicating it with that beautiful smell that feels good and makes you want to immediately grab a good forkful of baked vegetables, which can be served without the need for bread, since there are already potatoes and the gratin.

Steps to Prepare Baked Vegetables au Gratin

  • Wash all the vegetables. Slice tomatoes and zucchini, peel onions and potatoes and also slice them into rounds, all of the same thickness. Try to cut them all thin enough so they cook quickly.

  • Moisten the tray with water, place a sheet of parchment paper on it, and brush the surface with olive oil.

  • Arrange the vegetables in the tray, alternating the slices to create neat rows. Gradually squeeze the vegetables to fit them all in the tray; I used a tray about 16×12 inches.

  • Season the vegetables with salt, plenty of crumbled oregano, breadcrumbs, 2 cloves of garlic, and finally olive oil.

  • Bake in a preheated convection oven at 392°F for about 35 minutes.

  • Remove from the oven and enjoy our delicious baked vegetables.

If you like, you can add grated cheese, mozzarella, provola, or feta at the end and leave it in the oven for another 2 minutes.
