Ingredients
Roasted Vegetables (use~ 3 to 3-1/2 lbs. raw vegetables)
  • 1 large eggplant
  • 4 medium zucchini or crookneck squash
  • 2 large red, orange or yellow bell peppers
  • 1 large yellow or red onion
  • 2 T. minced fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme oregano) or 2 tsp. dried herbs
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 T. oil
To layer with:
  • 1-3/4 c. marinara sauce
  • 5 oz. goat cheese or non-dairy cheese
  • 2 T. grated parmesan cheese or 1 T. nutritional yeast
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut vegetables as follows: eggplant and zucchini lengthwise into ⅜" slices; onions into ⅜" round slices; cut open bell peppers, remove stem and clean out seeds, cut into rectangles approximately 2" x 3" or so.
  2. Measure out and spread 2T. oil onto the bottom of each of two large baking sheets. In the first baking sheet, place eggplant slices in a single layer. Drizzle another 2 T. oil over the eggplant slices. Spinkle lightly with salt, pepper and half of the herbs. In the other baking sheet, lay the squash slices in a single layer, then place the onion rings in the remaining space (it's fine if they overlap). Turn the squash slices over so both sides get coated with oil. Break apart the onion rings a bit and mix them up with the oil in the pan. Sprinkle the squash and onions lightly with salt and pepper, and the remaining herbs. Bake for 35 - 45 minutes, until vegetables are tender. The squash will be done before the eggplant, so that pan may be removed first.
  3. Spread about ¼ c. marinara sauce on the bottom of an 8" x 8" baking pan. Place half of the eggplant slices, ¼ c, sauce, half of squash slices, ¼ c.sauce, half of the goat cheese, half of the onions, half of the peppers, ¼ c. sauce, the remaining squash, ¼ c. sauce, the remaining cheese, the remaining onions, remaining peppers,1/4 c. sauce, remaining eggplant, and finally ¼ c. sauce. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes until heated through, and cheese is melted. Remove from oven and let set 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
