Farmer’s Market Veggie Bake Recipe: A Delicious Way to Eat Your Veggies

May 10, 2017

All of these garden veggies are making me fall in love! I used everything “garden” in this Farmer's Market Veggie Bake Recipe. Sauteed onions & garlic on the bottom, any vegetables stacked in the middle, and then I like to top it with tons of fresh herbs – basil, flat-leaf parsley, and thyme – in addition to a little cheese. Don’t feel like you need to commit to all those herbs – anything you have on hand will work!

It’s way simpler than it looks. Plus, lots of slicing can be therapeutic…we like to think 🙂

Farmer's Market Veggie Bake Recipe

Makes 6 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes; Cook Time: 1 hour; Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet onion, raw
  • 1-1/2 large garlic cloves
  • 1 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 2 medium beefsteak tomatoes, raw
  • 2 cup, cubes, sweet potatoes, raw, unprepared
  • 2 cups of sliced zucchini
  • 1/2 cup yellow summer squash
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 3 tablespoons crumbled feta
  • 1 tsp. fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp. fresh basil, thinly sliced or torn
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a pan over medium high, sauté the onion until light brown. Add garlic and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and cook for a minute or so. Turn heat off and add flat leaf Italian parsley, continuing to stir. Remove from heat and put onion mixture in the bottom of the pan.
  3. Meanwhile, cut tomatoes, sweet potatoes, zucchini and yellow squash into about 1/4 inches slices. Arrange vegetables in the pan so they are standing up, and continue the same pattern until the pan is filled. Grate a small clove of garlic over the vegetables. Sprinkle with about a tablespoon of fresh thyme, some freshly ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Cover and bake for 30 – 40 minutes (potatoes should be fork-tender). Remove from oven and add shredded mozzarella, feta, and fresh basil to the top. Put back into the oven and let bake until everything is toasted on top, about another 20 minutes.
