This was pretty, simple, and delicious. I added some shredded parmesan cheese on top when I took it out of the oven.

Superb side dish! I served it for a dinner party and everyone loved it. The only changes I made (very minor) were to add fresh minced garlic to the oil, then add the black pepper into a mix. I chopped the veggies the night before, then merely coated everything (stirring) with the oil mix before baking. The smell, taste and textures were terrific! I used grape tomatoes and omitted the salt. Thank you for such a wonderful, healthy and easy make-ahead recipe!

I just made this with my dinner. I was planning on making the same thing only in a frying pan on the stove. Since it is cool today, I tried this, also adding some mushrooms, and a little cauliflower that I had. I used my favorite Italian dressing instead of the oil, and a bit of fresh basil. So easy, and delicious. I made it for myself figuring I would have leftovers, but I'm afraid I made quite the pig out of myself!

Just wonderful! Very flavorful. You can eat leftovers cold the next day, it is tasty.

This is truly the taste of summer. Use only vegs from your garden--fresh-picked zuke, a pepper and tomatoes, because this is only as good as the ingredients you put into it. I too added a little garlic and decreased the oil.....because I couldn't resist melting a little 3-cheeses Italian over the top, then finished with a handful of chopped herbs from the garden. Will be making this again and again, so thank you so much for the recipe!
