This recipe took my zucchini, potato, and bell pepper and put them together in a simple and splendid way. It was quick to prep and everything went on one baking pan in the oven. Prep time was really only 10 minutes and I baked it for just 45 minutes and then sprinkled a little Parmesan cheese on top for another 5 minutes.

It came sliding off the Silpat on the baking pan and was a colorful and very tasty dish. I love roasting a medley of veggies and this combination was wonderful. The garlic however was a little pungent so I might leave that off next time. I would never have thought of adding the breadcrumbs but they worked well to add slight crispiness to each piece. Here’s my veggie bake:
