Tips:
- When preparing the vegetables, use a sharp knife and cutting board to ensure even slices. Consider using a food processor for consistent results, especially when dealing with large quantities.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Steaming or roasting are recommended cooking methods to preserve their texture and nutrients.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to enhance the flavor of the pie. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cumin for a warm touch, or incorporating fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for a fragrant aroma.
- For a cheesy variation, sprinkle some grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese over the top of the pie before baking. This adds an extra layer of flavor and gooey texture.
- Serve the pie warm, ideally fresh out of the oven. Accompany it with a side salad or soup for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
