Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the 1 large eggplant, 2 zucchini, and 3 tomatoes into 1/4-inch rounds.

  2. Step 2

    Spread the 1 cup tomato sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the vegetable slices upright in a row, alternating eggplant, zucchini, and tomato, overlapping slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Tuck the 2 garlic cloves, minced, between the slices. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt.

  4. Step 4

    Roast uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the edges are browned and slightly caramelized.

  5. Step 5

    Let rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons fresh herbs before serving.
