Zucchini & Tomato One Pan Gratin
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 Cups sliced yellow onion (1 large onion)
- 3 Cloves fresh garlic minced
- 2-3 Large zucchini (approximately 3 ½ cups)
- 2 Cups canned diced tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp kosher salt
- ¼ Cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
- 2 Ounces provolone cheese, sliced or grated
- 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ Cup breadcrumbs (plain)
Directions
- Heat 2 Tbsp. of the olive oil on medium high heat on the stovetop in an oven-safe pan. Add the minced garlic and sliced onions. Cook until lightly browned, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Season with approximately a ½ Tbsp. of salt.
- While the onions are cooking, slice the zucchini on a bias into approximate 1/8-inch oval slices. Add to onions and season with an additional ½ Tbsp. of salt. Sauté until zucchini is cooked half way and begins to get slightly brown.
- Preheat the oven to 500°F – BROIL (175°C). Carefully spread the vegetables evenly across the pan to create an even layer. Drain the chopped tomatoes and pour evenly across the top of the vegetable mixture.
- Top with parsley, breadcrumbs, and evenly spread both cheeses across the vegetable gratin.
- Place pan on middle shelf under broiler and allow to brown and melt cheese for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and garnish with fresh chopped basil and remaining olive oil if you choose. Serve tableside or gently slide onto serving plate. Slice and serve.
