Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 large eggplant
• 3 medium potatoes
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 4 large tomatoes
• 1 large onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 80 ml olive oil
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 200 ml water
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and prepare the vegetables: slice the zucchini, eggplant, and potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds; deseed and roughly chop the bell peppers; finely chop the onion; mince the garlic.

Step 3

Score the tops of the tomatoes with an 'X,' blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. Peel and finely chop the tomatoes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplant, potatoes, bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Season with the salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to evenly coat.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, mix the chopped tomatoes with the tomato paste, water, and chopped parsley.

Step 7

Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly across a large baking dish. Pour the tomato mixture over the top, ensuring all the vegetables are coated with the sauce.

Step 8

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil, gently stir the vegetables, and continue baking uncovered for another 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.

Step 11

Serve as a main dish with crusty bread or as a side dish to complement grilled meats or seafood.
