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!

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!
