Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf basil
  • 1/4 cup good olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Trim ends from zucchini and remove stem and tough core from the tomatoes. Cut both vegetables into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them in a lightly buttered 1 1/2-quart baking dish with edges overlapping slightly, alternating tomato with zucchini.

Step 2

Scatter the green pepper, onion, salt, pepper, and basil over the slices. Drizzle the oil evenly over the vegetables.

Step 3

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for about 25 minutes, or until the squash is just tender.
