Tian Provençal

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini - sliced into thin rounds
• 2 medium eggplants - sliced into thin rounds
• 2 medium tomatoes - sliced into thin rounds
• 1 large onion - sliced thinly
• 3 cloves garlic - minced
• 4 tablespoons olive oil - for drizzling
• 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence - or a mix of thyme, rosemary, and basil
• to taste salt - for seasoning
• to taste pepper - for seasoning
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar - optional for extra flavor

Step-by-step instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large baking dish or a traditional tian dish, layer the sliced zucchini, eggplants, and tomatoes in an alternating pattern, standing them up vertically for a visually appealing presentation.
2. Scatter the sliced onions and minced garlic evenly over the top of the layered vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence. For added depth, drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired.
3. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Serving suggestion
