Excellent. Super easy and basic recipe but it tasted like I spent all day in the garden and kitchen!

Delicious use of garden veggies!! Paired perfectly with grilled chicken marinated in a similar marinade.

Delicious! We had a bunch of garden grown zucchini, squash, and cherry tomatoes so I was looking for a good recipe that would go well with pasta and this is definitely that! The veggies and balsamic garlic mixture have excellent flavor and produce a juicy sauce that goes great on pasta. We added some freshly grated sheep romano that made it phenomenal.

Had a lack of ideas for this evening's supper....so dived into this colourful fiesta of veggies with the addition of a cubed orange capsicum.  Will have it with cooked roasted buckwheat groats....and perhaps a small green salad on the side.  I gave this five stars without tasting it, as I know it will be great as I can smell the aromas coming from my oven...Thank you!!!

love all your recipes, very tasty and easy, thank you !

Very good suggestion! Wholesome for veggie lovers.

If you’re looking for a way to cook lots of vegetables in a super simple side dish, try this zucchini tomato bake. Before they go into the casserole dish, I stir zucchini, yellow squash and tomatoes in balsamic vinegar, oregano, minced garlic and olive oil. Then I top them with grated Parmesan. This mix of veggies turns out beautifully herby and garlicky.
