BAKED ITALIAN VEGETABLE MéLANGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
• In the pie pan, layer as follows: squash, bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes. Sprinkle in order with the red pepper flakes, salt, oregano, basil, and fennel seeds. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
• Sprinkle with the parsley and Parmesan. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes so the flavors blend and the vegetables release their juices.
• Cook's Tip
• Don't skip the last step. It brings out the flavors while the vegetables "relax" and the juices are released, giving the dish more intensity.
