Giada's Vegetable Casserole

Name: Giada's Vegetable Casserole
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 55 min
Yield: 6
Cuisine: American Italian
Ingredients: 1 medium potato (peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces); 1 mediumsweet potato (peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces); 1 red bell pepper (seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces); 2 carrots (peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces); 4 tablespoons olive oil; 1 red onion (thinly sliced into rings); 2 small or 1 large zucchini (cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces); Salt and pepper; 2 large ripe tomatoes (cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices); 1/2 cup grated Parmesan; 2 tablespoons dried Italian-style bread crumbs; Fresh basil sprigs (for garnish)

Note that the ingredients here are something of a hodgepodge: potato and sweet potato, zucchini and carrot, onion and bell pepper. That's because this is a pretty loose recipe, and you should feel free to substitute whatever you prefer. Just be sure to cut any vegetables to roughly the same size, to ensure that they're all fully cooked - but not overcooked - at the same time.

The zucchini bake was perfect! I made mine completely plant-based, including my own homemade plant-based cheese, and it turned out wonderfully. I love Giada’s style, creativity, and the way her recipes can easily be adapted to different dietary preferences. She is truly an inspiration and proves that choosing healthier ingredients never means compromising on seasoning, flavor, or enjoyment. Thank you, Giada for sharing such delicious and adaptable recipes with us! Thank you!!!
