Healthy Squash and Tomato Casserole

Healthy Squash and Tomato Casserole – Summer squash, zucchini, tomato and herbs make this colorful and healthy side dish a great vegan addition to any summer meal.

Hellloooo squash.

It’s zucchini season around here again and I feel late to the party.

I tried to plant zucchini in my patio garden this year but so far I only have flowers!

Usually I don’t have the best of luck with growing things but I have been able to pick a couple tomatoes. I had to buy these zucchini from Trader Joe’s and I bought in bulk – so you may be seeing them again real soon.

Zucchini bread was going to be first on my list… but I’m currently on a kick of not eating bread, which might not last because it’s making me crazy and sad. In an attempt to survive another gluten-free day, this dish was born!

I’m not really sure if I should even call this is a casserole, since I usually think of some combination of bread and cheese goodness when I hear that word.

It’s kind of more like a squash salad though I don’t know about you, but I’ve never baked a salad before. You can add cheese to it if you want, but I don’t think you want to ruin all the pretty colors!

I (tried to) cut all the veggies about 1/4 inch thick. Then just drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil, add a teaspoon of herbs (de provence) and pinch of salt and bake at 400°F for 30 minutes! Easy peasy.

For a gluten-free and dairy-free dish, it’s pretty tasty.
