Doesn’t this look pretty? And it’s SO easy to make!
This past weekend, I was invited to have a lovely dinner with some amazing friends. When I asked the hostesses what I could bring, she asked for a vegetable side dish.
A while back, I bookmarked a vegetable tian recipe from For The Love of Cooking. I added my own flair and came up with this winner. What amazing flavors all packed in one pie! The ladies loved it and I will be making this one again very soon.
I was very excited that my summer garden will have almost all of the items need to whip this up. How fun it is that!
Vegetable Pie (aka Vegetable Tian)
- Thinly slice potatoes, plum tomatoes, yellow squash, and zucchini. Set aside. To give the tomatoes a little extra kick, I placed the thin slices on a paper towel to absorb some liquid and sprinkled 1 tsp or the multipurpose seasoning.
- Saute your chopped onions and minced garlic in 1 tbsp of butter until onions are soft (about 5 minutes).
- Spray a pie pan with non-stick spray and layer onions on the bottom of the pan. If you do not have a pie pan, an 8×8 pan will also work.
- Create a spiral layer (or rows if you are using a square dish) of potato, zucchini, squash, potato, tomato, potato, zucchini, squash, potato, tomato, potato, etc…
- Drizzle with the 2 tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tsp of seasoning and salt. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 400 degrees, covered for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with your Italian cheese. Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes.

This was such a fabulous recipe! I made it tonight for dinner as the main course, since I am vegetarian. I did make a few adjustments. Like I added more garlic, and used a shallot instead of an onion, I also put a whole lemons worth of zest on the Tian after it was assembled. That really livened it up and tasted so fresh! The only other big change, was I used fresh mozzarella cheese, boy did that make it out of this world delicious!!!
Thank you so much for this unbelievably tasty recipe!!! I will definitely be making it MANY MANY MANY more times!
