Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a large 9x13-inch (or equivalent) baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine 4 medium sliced 1/4-in thick zucchini, 2 lbs sliced 1/4-in thick Yukon Gold potatoes, 4 medium sliced 1/4-in thick ripe tomatoes, and 1 large sliced thin red onion.
