Garden Vegetable Casserole

In our area you will be able to find a great variety of vegetables at the farmers market. From string beans, tomatoes, zucchini and more are all available. This casserole recipe I am sharing today will allow you to use all the veggies you have in your garden or purchase at the farmers market. 

Potatoes, onions, garlic, tomato, cauliflower, and zucchini will all be found in this amazing recipe. 



Layered Veggie Casserole

Ingredients:
(serves 4-6)

2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
1 zucchini, thinly sliced
6 grape tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium Vidalia onion, quartered and sliced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup cauliflower, chopped and thinly sliced
1/2 cup garlic rice vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Crumbled feta for topping

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Coat an 8x8" square pan or dish with part of the olive oil. Layer the bottom of the pan with the potatoes, then top with some of the garlic, onion, vinegar, salt and pepper. Next, layer the sliced tomatoes, then the zucchini plus more of the onion, garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper. Next, the cauliflower and anymore onion and garlic you might have left, plus the rest of the olive oil and more salt, pepper, and vinegar if desired. 



Place dish into oven uncovered for 20 minutes. Next, put the dish in the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until roasted to desired blackness. Lastly, top this casserole with as much crumbled feta as you'd like and place back in the turned off oven for 3 minutes until feta is slightly melted. Serve immediately. This would be a great side dish with just about anything or as a main course for a small family or couple. We had it with some steamed broccoli that was about to turn, and it would've been really good with some warm, crusty bread. 



The fresh veggies mixed with the garlic and tangy vinegar leaves a taste compared to none. The feta cheese offers an additional yummy taste. If you choose you can change feta for mozzarella or goat cheese or your favorite for a recipe like this. 

some additional add in ideas are:
yellow squash
bell peppers
eggplant
carrot
mild greens
