Tian Provençal – Vegetable Bake

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. 2

   Finely slice the clean vegetables cross or lengthwise, using a mandoline slicer. Lightly oil a round oven-proof dish. Starting from the outside, arrange the vegetables in a dish in an upright position alternating colors. Press them in tightly. This task may need extra patience or a third hand to help. Alternatively, use a square dish or arrange vegetables in rows, or layers like lasagna. There's no wrong way of layering.

3. 3

   Tuck garlic pieces between the vegetable rows. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, and top with thyme. Bake uncovered until vegetables are tender, about 50-60 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature garnished with torn basil leaves.
