Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 medium eggplant, sliced
  • 1 cup light tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons grated light mozzarella

Instructions

1

Heat the oven in advance to 180C so it is ready for even baking.

 

2

Cut the zucchini and eggplant into equal slices so they cook evenly and have a consistent texture.

 

3

Sprinkle a little salt on the eggplant and leave it for 10 minutes to draw out extra moisture, then dry it well to avoid sogginess.

 

4

Arrange the zucchini and eggplant slices in alternating layers inside the baking dish for even cooking and a neat look.

 

5

Spoon the tomato sauce over the layered vegetables and spread it evenly so all slices are covered.

 

6

Add a light drizzle of olive oil and season with oregano, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor.

 

7

Cover the dish loosely with foil to help the vegetables soften while baking without drying out.

 

8

Take off the foil and continue baking so the vegetables become fully tender and slightly more roasted.

 

9

Add a small amount of cheese on top and bake briefly until it melts over the vegetables.

 

10

Let the dish sit for 5 minutes after baking so the layers settle and it is easier to serve.
