Description

A traditional Greek dish featuring a medley of roasted vegetables including potatoes, zucchini, and tomatoes, seasoned with fresh herbs and Olive oil.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 lb gold potatoes (about 3 medium potatoes), peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 1/4 lb zucchini squash (2 to 3 zucchini), thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • Scant 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice (no-salt-added organic tomatoes preferred)
  • 1 large red onion or 2 smaller ones, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the middle.
  2. Pour half of the canned diced tomatoes into a large round pan or skillet to cover the bottom evenly.
  3. Arrange the seasoned potatoes, zucchini, and sliced onions in the pan, alternating the vegetables for a beautiful layered effect.
  4. If you have leftover olive oil and garlic mixture, drizzle that over the top. Cover with the remaining diced tomatoes.
  5. Cover the pan with foil, tenting it slightly and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and roast uncovered for another 30-40 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and slightly charred.
  7. Let it sit for a moment before serving warm or at room temperature, drizzled with more olive oil.
