Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium yellow summer squash, thinly sliced
  • 4 medium Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a large oval or round baking dish.

  2. 2

    Scatter 1 large thinly sliced yellow onion and 4 minced garlic cloves evenly across the bottom of the dish. Drizzle with half the 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and season with a pinch of kosher salt.

  3. 3

    Arrange alternating slices of 2 medium thinly sliced zucchini, 2 medium thinly sliced yellow summer squash, and 4 medium thinly sliced Roma tomatoes upright in overlapping rows over the onion base, packing them snugly.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the remaining extra-virgin olive oil over the top. Sprinkle with 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper.

  5. 5

    Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

  6. 6

    Remove foil and continue baking for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are caramelized and most of the liquid has evaporated.

  7. 7

    Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve directly from the baking dish.
