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.
