Vegetable casserole - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Absolutely! For a lighter option, plain Greek yogurt works well. For a dairy-free version, you can use a vegan sour cream alternative or even a thin layer of olive oil mixed with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The vegetables will soften over time but will still be delicious.
Yes, as written, this recipe is naturally gluten-free. Always double-check your specific cheese brand to ensure no gluten-containing additives were used.
Yes, you can assemble the casserole completely, cover it tightly, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it goes into the oven cold.
This casserole is a hearty side dish perfect alongside grilled chicken, fish, or steak. For a vegetarian meal, it's excellent with a portion of quinoa, crusty bread, or a simple green salad.
You can freeze it, but be aware that the vegetables will become very soft upon thawing and reheating. For best results, freeze in individual portions. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven until warmed through.
To reduce moisture, you can salt the sliced eggplant and zucchini beforehand and let them sit for 20-30 minutes. This draws out excess liquid. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels before assembling the casserole.
Definitely! Sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions would be wonderful additions. Just be mindful that different vegetables may have different moisture contents, which could slightly affect the baking time.
