Zucchini And Eggplant Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Preheat a grill for cooking on medium-high heat.

Place the bell peppers and tomatoes in a large baking dish. Bake until blistered, about 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, dice all the vegetables and add to a medium (10- to 12-inch) cast-iron casserole dish. Set aside.
• Add the garlic, pistachios and basil to a food processor. Turn on and drizzle in 2 ounces olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add 3 ounces olive oil and the cheese. Taste for seasoning and texture. Top the eggplant with the pesto and grate the Parmesan over the top.
• Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
