Michele Montgomery
This recipe is so good. It is a great way to use the bounty of the summer garden. I did add some kalamata olives which I like and left out the potato. Used fresh tomatoes and reduced them instead of canned tomatoes. This recipe is going in my favorites

Delicious

Absolute love. Can’t wait to make it again.

We make this recipe at our university cafeteria. We find that it is easy to make, tastes great, smells great, looks wonderful, and it is very versatile. We use leftovers to make baked ziti, pulse to make marinara or meat sauce, or serve it as a side dish. Thank you Giada!

I made this as a main dish so I added an extra potato. It was really good! Next time I would add more garlic and some other spices. We about half left over (just me and my husband) so I made some orzo and mixed in the veggies with some lemon juice, olive oil, dried basil and red pepper. The leftover orzo was even better!
Chad Moreno
This dish was soo yummy and I served it with a Salmon to the side would make it again .
Eric Jones
Not my favorite and I usually love her dishes. The veggies were all soggy except for the eggplant and not tons of flavor .

We love this recipe! I leave out the potatoes and the bread, and just make the vegetables. It’s the tastiest roasted vegetable dish you’ll find! Sometimes I mix it up and use seasoned tomatoes on the bottom or add extra vegetables. If I can’t find Japanese eggplant (my store is unreliable for keeping that in stock), then I use regular and just cut it into smaller pieces. I do salt it, let it weep, rinse it and pat dry before adding it to the other vegetables, though. Japanese eggplant doesn’t need to have the bitters removed, but regular eggplant tastes better if you weep it a little. When I do that I reduce the salt in the overall recipe because the eggplant retains a little bit of the salt.
I’ve made this several times and I know I’ll be making it for years to come. We love it that much!

Very easy to make. I couldn’t find Japanese eggplant, so I used regular eggplant, added a little extra olive oil and seasonings, and it was delicious! Like a greek bruschetta. I did cut the vegetables a little smaller than called for so it was easier to top on the crostini.

It’s a good recipe, but not special. I would recommend smaller vegetable pieces if using for an appetizer topping (keep the same baking time. I baked 50% longer at the size the recipe calls for. Also use a 15 x 10 sheet pan (with some lip so you have room to toss ingredients. Very flexible as previous reviewers have mentioned.
