Baked Eggplant, Zucchini & Tomatoes

Printer Version

 
   


Here is an easy one dish Italian recipe that can serve as a light meal or a side dish.
 
This recipe is very simple and quick, because you don't have to drain the eggplant as I usually recommend. You can if you prefer - but it isn't necessary. It is a one dish recipe and all you need is an area to cut the vegetables. This is a good dish to use with those who are vegan or vegetarian. Enjoy!
