It's zucchini season! So if you are looking for an easy and colorful way of using up an abundance of zucchini coming out of your garden or just looking for zucchini recipes, this zucchini bake recipe will be perfect for you.
This recipe is inspired from the French vegetable "tian" recipe which is usually made with pretty much the same ingredients as "ratatouille". So, this is probably the reason why "tian" is wrongly called "ratatouille" by many foreigners.
The difference between "vegetable tian" and "ratatouille" is mainly how vegetables are cooked (in the oven VS stove top) and how beautiful the dish is. "Tian" is all about alternating colours in the baking dish to get something beautiful and colourful. Whereas "ratatouille" is about cutting all your veggies in cubes and throwing them in the pot.
Anyway, however you call it, "tian" or "ratatouille", the original recipe is full of nightshades (that are not AIP compliant). Consequently, I wanted to create a nightshade free version of it.
Ingredients
- green zucchini
- yellow squash / zucchini
- sweet potato
- onion
- herbs of Provence
- extra virgin olive oil
- garlic clove
- pinch of salt
How to make this
- In a mixing bowl, mix the olive oil, herbs of Provence, garlic and salt.
- Peel the sweet potato. Then slice it, along with zucchini, yellow squash and onion into ¼ inch thick slices.
- In a baking dish, arrange zucchini, yellow squash, sweet potato and onion in an alternating pattern (as seen in the photos) until the dish is full.
- Pour the olive oil mix over the vegetables and place into oven. Bake for 25 minutes or until vegetables are soft. And voilà! Bon appétit!

Bonjour. Of course I have already seen Phoenix Helix weekly roundtables. I am honoured to take part in it. I just added my zucchini bake recipe link according to your instructions. Thank you so much for the invitation!

I see that you have onion listed in the directions but not in the ingredient list. Just wanted you to know so that someone isn't surprised when they go to make it and don't have an onion handy. Looks yummy. Excited to try.

Bonjour Suzie. ????so sorry about that! Thank you so much for telling me!!!! I usually see my mistakes when I translate everything to French but I didn’t notice so I had the same mistakes in both languages. Now everything is fixed. I’m very grateful that you told me this. Merci beaucoup!
