Baked vegetables a la Italiano

Cookinero 25 Dec 2022

While having dinner in sunny Italy while waiting for the main course to be served, we tried baked tomatoes and peppers with a little breading on top. We liked them very much. And already at home in the village, taking advantage of the fact that growing a decent crop on our beds, we have our own wonderful vegetables, we decided to reproduce this recipe with our own additions (added cheese, garlic). And it worked!!! My daughter is delighted and often asks to cook. The vegetables come out amazing, increasing or decreasing the cooking time, you get the degree of crunchiness you want, or you make them absolutely melt on the tongue. Ease of preparation and availability of products is also a very important factor. Try once and repeat, repeat, repeat...

Baked vegetables a la Italiano - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Absolutely! Zucchini, eggplant, onions, and mushrooms would all be delicious additions or substitutions. Adjust cooking time as needed depending on the vegetable.
Parmesan or Pecorino Romano are traditional choices that provide a savory, salty flavor. However, you can experiment with other hard cheeses like Asiago or even a blend of Italian cheeses.
Yes! It's naturally vegetarian. To make it vegan, substitute the cheese with nutritional yeast or a vegan Parmesan alternative. Ensure your crackers are also vegan-friendly.
Store leftover baked vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They're best reheated in the oven or a toaster oven to maintain their texture.
You can chop the vegetables and mix the breadcrumb topping ahead of time. Store them separately in the refrigerator, and then assemble and bake just before serving.
They make a great side dish for grilled chicken, fish, or pasta. You can also serve them as a light lunch or appetizer with some crusty bread.
Feel free to experiment with your favorite Italian herbs! Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and parsley are great additions. If using fresh herbs, add them towards the end of cooking to preserve their flavor.
