    Cheesy Vegetable Skillet

    BY: Kimberly Grabinski PUBLISHED: 1 Aug, '12 UPDATED: 5 Oct, '21 11 Comments

    Zucchini is considered a bumper crop this year. It is abundant, which is clearly evidenced by the 7 we have sitting in our fridge, and the  at least 5 we already ate. But there is only so much you can do with zucchini before you get tired of it.

    I refuse to let it go to waste, however, and the zucchini bread I made was a bust.

    So.

    I happened upon a recipe that sounded yummy and had other vegetables in it so it would be easier to "sell" it to my kids when I served it.

    Cheesy Vegetable Skillet

    Ingredients:

    For the bottom of the pan:

    • 2-3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • 2 tablespoon minced onions
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • ½ teaspoon sea salt

    For the veggies:

    • 1 zucchini
    • 1 large potato
    • 2 medium tomatoes
    • 1-½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
    • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • ½ – ¾ cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
    2. Slice zucchini, potato and tomatoes into round thin slices
    3. For bottom of pan: Heat oil in a medium sized cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add minced onions, salt, minced garlic and thyme and cook for a minute. Remove from heat. Spread onion/oil mixture evenly across bottom of skillet.
    4. For the veggies: layer the veggies in a circle around the pan, alternating between each of the 3 kinds. You should be able to get an outer ring and inner ring of veggies. Drizzle olive oil evenly over veggies and then sprinkle thyme, salt and pepper over them. Add cheese on top and cover with foil.
    5. Bake 30 minutes, remove foil and bake for another 15-25 minutes until veggies are soft and bubbly.

    This was soooo good.  The seasonings were just right and the vegetables were tender and delicious.  My husband and I ate almost the whole thing between us, the kids each had one of each type of veggie and we shared the rest.  I plan on making this a few times a week until the zucchini is gone, and I hope to experiment with other veggies as well.

    Note: prep time is around 15 minutes, cook time 50 minutes and serves 4.  Recipe inspired by: https://deliciouslyorganic.net/vegetable-tian/

      1 zucchini has 29 calories in it
      Tomatoes have 15 to 20 pending on the size
      1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese has 215 calories in it
      Over all this is an excellent choose for dinner. Way to go 730sagestreet.com !
      P.s.Zuchinni is an A grade food

      That looks soooo good. Way too much cooking time for our 30 minute or less butts.
