# Ingredients:
→ Garnishing & Cheese
01 -
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes (optional)
02 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella, divided
03 -
1 tablespoon fresh, chopped parsley
→ Seasoning & Veggies
04 -
2 diced, large zucchinis
05 -
1 green bell pepper, chopped
06 -
1 chopped onion
07 -
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
08 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
09 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
10 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning mix
11 -
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
12 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Take the dish out of the oven and scatter fresh parsley over the top. Want extra heat? Sprinkle on some chili flakes. Serve it up warm!
02 -
Put the dish back inside to melt the cheese and get a golden finish on top. Let it bake for another ten minutes.
03 -
Pull out the baking dish and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella over the cooked veggies.
04 -
Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for twenty minutes. This’ll soften up the zucchinis.
05 -
Dump everything into a 23x33 cm dish. Spread it out evenly so it bakes properly.
06 -
Mix about half the shredded mozzarella with all the veggies. Make sure every bit gets coated.
07 -
Toss the zucchinis, green bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt. Get it all evenly coated.
08 -
Set the oven to 190°C and let it warm up before anything else.
# Notes:
01 -
For the best flavor, go for fresh mozzarella and shred it yourself. Seasonings can always be adjusted before baking if needed.
