Description - Step 1

Roast the bell peppers

Preheat the oven to 230°C. Place the halved and seeded red bell peppers, cut-side down, on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes until the skins are blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and immediately transfer to a bowl, covering tightly with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 10 minutes to make their skins easy to peel. Once cooled, peel off the skins and finely chop the roasted peppers. Set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 135°C.

Description - Step 2

Assembling the piperade sauce

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent but not browned. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the chopped roasted red peppers, diced tomatoes with their juices, tomato paste, fresh thyme sprig, parsley sprig, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper.

Description - Step 7

Arrange the vegetables

Starting from the outer edge of the dish, arrange the vegetable slices in a tight spiral pattern, alternating between vegetables. Follow this classic pattern: zucchini, tomato, eggplant, yellow squash, then repeat. Arrange each slice at a tilted angle, overlapping the previous slice, creating a shingled effect. Work your way from the outside toward the centre in concentric circles.
