Ingredients
2 zucchini, sliced into half moons
16 oz mushrooms, sliced into large chunks
2 bell peppers, sliced into strips and halved
3 small crowns broccoli, sliced into large florets
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan Mixture:
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for low carb)
3 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp Italian blend seasonings
Salt and pepper to taste
Assembly:
1 cup marinara sauce
10 cherry tomatoes
1 small red onion, sliced
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Olive oil
Garnish: fresh basil and chili pepper flakes
Instructions
Prepare the Base: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Lightly spray a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Add the zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, and broccoli to the sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
Parmesan Mixture: While the veggies are roasting, whisk together the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs (or almond flour), minced garlic, Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
Assembly: After the vegetables have roasted for 20 minutes, remove them from the oven. Toss the veggies to mix them up. If there is excess liquid on the pan, blot most of it with paper towels. Push the vegetables together to form a rectangular shape in an even layer.
Drizzle the marinara sauce evenly over the veggies. Sprinkle the parmesan mixture on top to absorb the moisture and add flavor. Scatter the cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions, and shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Drizzle with olive oil.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 18-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil and chili pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.
