Ingredients
  

For the Vegetable Medley
  • 1 large Eggplant Adds a rich and earthy flavor; use zucchini instead for a milder taste.
  • 1 large Zucchini Provides moisture and a slightly sweet taste; yellow zucchini can be substituted.
  • 1 large Yellow Squash Contributes a tender texture; yellow zucchini can also replace this ingredient.
  • 1 large Onion Enhances sweetness and depth of flavor; sweet onions can be used for a milder taste.
  • 3 medium Roma Tomatoes Adds acidity and a fresh taste; substitute with any firm tomatoes, if needed.
For the Sauce
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Tomato Sauce Serves as a flavorful base; homemade sauce can be substituted.
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Provides traditional flavoring; replace with a mix of dried herbs like oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Sweet Basil Adds a fragrant touch; fresh basil is preferred but dried can work in a pinch.
For Cooking and Serving
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil Infuses richness and helps in cooking; use avocado oil for a different flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor; adjust to taste preference.
  • Black Pepper Adds spiciness; freshly ground is recommended for best flavor.
  • 0.5 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Offers a creamy, salty topping; omit for a dairy-free option or use nutritional yeast.
