Arrange the vegetables in alternating slices (like zucchini, tomato, eggplant, potato, pepper), standing upright or laying flat in rows or spirals, depending on your dish.
Brush the rest of the herb oil over the top of the vegetables. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30–35 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with cheese if using, and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden and bubbling.
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs for a burst of color and flavor.
💡 Tips & Variations:
- Add a layer of tomato sauce or béchamel at the bottom for extra richness.
- Use a mandoline for perfectly even slices and faster prep.
- Want more protein? Add chickpeas or lentils between layers, or serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side.
