Ingredients

Butter, for greasing
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed and sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces

1 (26-ounce) jar marinara sauce

Steps:

Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish.
Drizzle the eggplant slices, fennel slices and peppers with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes each side until softened.
Spoon 3/4 cup of the marinara sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the eggplant slices on top. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese. Arrange the peppers in a single layer on top. Spoon 3/4 cup of marinara sauce over the peppers. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese. Arrange the fennel on top and cover with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Scatter the bread crumbs over the cheese and drizzle liberally with oil. Bake until the top is golden and forms a crust, about 30 to 35 minutes
Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Cook's Note: The vegetables can also be baked in a 375 degrees F oven for 15 to 20 minutes until softened.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

15 oz mayonaise
8 oz sour cream
1/3 c of milk (or less as desired, use less for dips)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp parsley flakes
1 tsp dill weed
1-2 oz fresh shredded Parmesan

2. Add garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, pepper, and dill. Mix well.
3. Add in shredded Parmesan cheese. Chill and serve. Note: add less milk for dips. Also omit Parmesan for ranch dressing.

Tips:

Choose fresh, crisp vegetables. This will ensure that your veggie forest is crunchy and flavorful.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes. This will help them cook evenly.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of roast.
Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
Season the vegetables generously. This will help them taste their best.
Serve the veggie forest with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard dressing are all great options.

Conclusion:

Veggie forest is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a fun and festive dish to serve at parties and gatherings. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a veggie forest that is sure to impress your friends and family.
