    This looks amazing!

    I would give it 5 stars except there was a lot of liquid which had to be drained. What can be done to mitigate that? I didn’t think of putting it back in the oven after draining. The flavors were wonderful and using all ingredients from the garden (except the cheese) is terrific. What to do to avoid the liquid?

      Hi Jani,
      You can use Roma tomatoes that have less liquid than other varieties of tomatoes, and you can also “sweat” the zucchini before baking. Simply, season the zucchini with salt, place them in a colander, and let them “sweat” for 30 minutes. And then pat them dry with a paper towel.

    Hi, just wondering what topping you used for the image that was yellow in color? Was it only Parmesan ?

    Delicious! Thanks for this simple recipe, a great way to use up all those tomatoes and zucchini from the garden this time of year. Made mostly as directed but used a whole onion and added some feta along with the parmesan cheese. So good!

    Made this tonight, and it was great, but I some lessons learned. Made it in a 9×9 dish and made flat layers. Should have put some onion and cheese in the middle layers cause it was bland in the middle. The dish got soggy on the bottom, so I drained it and put it back in the oven for like five minutes to clear that up. Tasted good, but now I know.

    I love this! I will have dreams of this dish for a while. I can’t eat anything with acid, like tomatoes for a while till ulcer heals, and it’s killing me. I keep seeing nice tomato dishes, or even just tomatoes, and want to cry.
