Ingredient List

1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, halved and cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 3/4 teaspoons sea salt or kosher salt
1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ Organic Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes, undrained
1/2 lb red potatoes, cut into 1/8-inch rounds
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/8-inch rounds
2 small yellow squash, cut into 1/8-inch rounds
2 small eggplants (about 3/4 lb each), cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/2 cup panko crispy bread crumbs
Fresh thyme leaves, if desired

Preparation

Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
In 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat Add onion; cook and stir about 6 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook and stir 2 minutes. Spread evenly in baking dish; set aside.
In extra-large bowl, mix potatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, eggplants, 1/4 cup of the oil, the rosemary, thyme, pepper and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; toss gently to coat evenly.
Arrange a row of potatoes in baking dish. Then create overlapping rows of eggplant, zucchini and yellow squash. Continue making rows of alternating vegetables to use up vegetables or until baking dish is full.
In small bowl, stir together cheese and bread crumbs. Sprinkle mixture on top; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until vegetables are tender and top is deep golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Top with fresh thyme leaves.

Tips

Gruyère is often used as a topping for tians and would make a nice substitute for the Parmigiano-Reggiano in this recipe.
If you can’t find 2 small eggplants, substitute 1 large eggplant, and cut in half before slicing.
