Ingredients
Scale
3 medium-sized eggplants (sliced into 1/4 inch rounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 zucchini, diced
1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus more for topping)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice your eggplants and lay them out on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the slices, then sprinkle with salt. Bake for around 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent. Stir in garlic, zucchini, and bell pepper, sautéing until tender—around 5-7 minutes.
In the same skillet, pour in the crushed tomatoes along with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the tomato mixture on the bottom. Layer with eggplant slices, followed by dollops of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat these layers, finishing with vegetables and a generous topping of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
