- 3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
- 1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley (optional, for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a medium-sized baking dish.
2. Optional: Pre-cook Eggplant
To reduce bitterness and moisture, sprinkle eggplant slices with salt and let them sit for 15 minutes. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Optionally, lightly brush with olive oil and bake or grill for 5–10 minutes to soften before layering.
3. Sauté Onions and Garlic
In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
4. Layer the Casserole
Layer the vegetables in the baking dish in a repeating pattern:
- Potato → Eggplant → Tomato → Onion mix
Repeat until all ingredients are used. Slightly overlap each slice for a beautiful visual effect. -
