Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 large Zucchinis, diced
  • 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 1 cup Grape tomatoes, halved

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs or oregano

Cheeses

  • 1 1/2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional) For a touch of heat

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine diced zucchinis, green bell pepper, chopped onion, and halved grape tomatoes.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the veggies. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs (or oregano). Toss until the veggies are evenly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the top, followed by the grated Parmesan.
  • If you like a little heat, scatter some crushed red pepper flakes over the cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  • Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving—the cheese will settle and everything will be easier to scoop!
  • Serve hot and enjoy the cheesy, veggie-packed goodness.

Notes

This dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a side salad.
