Ingredients:

2 zucchini
400g
1 eggplant
450g
1 red pepper
80g
1 onion
160g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 cups cherry tomatoes
360g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup feta cheese
120g
1/2 cup basil leaves
3.50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
- Dice the eggplant into bite-sized cubes.
- Chop the red bell pepper into small pieces.
- Thinly slice the onion.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Chop the fresh basil leaves.
3. Combine the Vegetables:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic.
4. Season and Drizzle:
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixed vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the olive oil and seasoning.
5. Bake the Vegetables:
Transfer the seasoned vegetable mixture to a large baking dish, spreading them out in an even layer. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 - 35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
6. Add Feta Cheese:
Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the vegetables.
7. Bake Again:
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 - 10 minutes, until the feta cheese is slightly melted and golden.
8. Finish with Basil:
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chopped fresh basil leaves over the top.
9. Serve:
Let the Eggplant and Tomato Medley Bake cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this dish warm, either as a flavorful side or a delightful vegetarian main course.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to ensure even baking for all vegetables.

- Slice the vegetables uniformly to ensure they cook evenly.

- Salting the eggplant slices and letting them sit for 15 minutes before cooking can help remove any bitterness.

- Use a sharp knife to finely chop the garlic for maximum flavor release.

- Sprinkle the feta cheese over the top of the bake just before the final few minutes of baking to allow it to melt slightly without burning.

- Garnish with fresh basil leaves just before serving to maintain their vibrant color and fresh taste.

With its vibrant colors and heartwarming flavors, the Eggplant and Tomato Medley Bake is a satisfying dish that is sure to please any crowd. The combination of tender vegetables, creamy feta, and fresh basil creates a harmony of flavors that's both healthy and delicious.
