Cheesy Vegetable Tian

What is a tian you ask? Glad you did! It's basically the the most impressive easiness to deliciousness ratio ever.  A tian is a mix of vegetables that are roasted in a shallow dish (which is where it get's its name) and is usually severed with melted cheese/au gratin. The dish I mentioned is a cooking pot from France, but obviously, that's not what is important here..

So. My mom was pretty unimpressed with this as I was making it, and then was blown away by w how much she loved it. Sounds simple enough... cheese and vegetables, and well, maybe that's the beauty of it.

It's AMAZING. Eat it now.

Ingredients


  • Garlic, finely minced 
  • Onion, sliced into medallions with mandolin
  • Zucchini, sliced into medallions with mandolin 
  • Squash, sliced into medallions with mandolin
  • Tomatoes on the vine, sliced into medallions with mandolin
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Olive oil
  • Ground Rosemary
  • Italian seasoning

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Lightly pray the inside of a 2.2 Quart / 2 Liter baking dish with the Misto filled with olive oil
  3. Randomly layer the vegetables on their side until the dish is full
  4. Sprinkle the finely minced garlic all over. Make sure it gets everywhere - in between the slices, around the edges, etc. 
  5. One more light spray of olive oil over the veggies
  6. Sprinkle the ground rosemary, and Italian seasoning very liberally
  7. Cover with Parmesan cheese, use as little as you can to make it as low calorie as possible
  8. Season lightly one more time with Italian seasoning
  9. Cover with aluminum foil, bake for 30 minutes (a tad less if making for meal prep). 
  10. Optional to bake uncovered for another 15 - 20 minutes but not recommended if making meal prep.
