Ingredients

• 1 large Red bell pepper

• 1 medium Green zucchini
• 1 large Orange carrot
• 1 cup, shredded Purple cabbage
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a large baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Wash and dice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and green zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Peel and julienne the carrot into thin strips. Set all vegetables aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and shredded purple cabbage to the skillet. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Step 5

In the greased baking dish, layer the sautéed vegetables evenly at the bottom.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the vegetables, followed by the cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Finish by sprinkling the Parmesan cheese on top for a crispy, golden crust.

Step 8

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top for extra richness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy goodness with a rainbow of vegetables!
