Vegetables Au Gratin

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a casserole dish with oil and set it aside.
2. In a zip-top bag, combine 1 cup of breadcrumbs with 1 tsp of Dash™ Salt-Free Original Seasoning. Shake to mix.
3. Rinse the vegetable slices under water and shake off any excess. Add 6 to 8 slices at a time to the bag, shaking until evenly coated. Place the coated slices on a wire rack and repeat until all vegetables are coated. Chill the coated vegetables in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
4. Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat once shimmering hot. Add a single layer of vegetables and cook quickly on each side until golden brown. Drain the browned vegetables on paper towels and continue cooking the remaining slices, adding oil as needed.
5. In a bowl, combine the tomato sauce with 1 ½ teaspoons of Dash™ Salt-Free Original Seasoning.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of the tomato sauce mixture into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Alternate layers of browned vegetables and the remaining tomato sauce mixture.
7. Sprinkle the top with cherry tomatoes and cheese. In a separate bowl, mix the reserved breadcrumbs with melted margarine and spoon the mixture over the cheese.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is lightly browned.
9. Enjoy your delicious and savory vegetable casserole!
