Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a baking dish with olive oil cooking spray. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and saute until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 60 seconds. Spread the onion mixture on the bottom of the greased baking dish.


























Slice the potatoes, zucchini, squash and tomatoes in1/4 inch thick slices. Layer them alternately in the dish on top of the onions, fitting them tightly into a spiral, making only one layer. Season with sea salt, black pepper and dried thyme, to taste. Drizzle the last tablespoon of olive oil over the top.


Cover the dish with tin foil and bake for 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Uncover and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top and bake for another 25-30 minutes or until browned. Enjoy.


This was so easy to make.  I made this for both the Hanukkah Dinner 2012 and The New Years Day Dinner 2013.   In both cases I did not use potatoes because the meals all ready had a potato dish of some kind.  I think you could do any root or squash vegetable combo and it would be good.  After all it's covered in Parmesan cheese!!  So get creative, choose your favorite veggies and ENJOY!!!!
