Tomato Vegetable Casserole

    1 medium potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    1 medium yam, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    5 tablespoons olive oil
    1 red onion, thinly sliced into rings
    1 large zucchini, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
    Salt and pepper
    2 large ripe tomatoes, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan
    2 tablespoons dried Italian-style bread crumbs
    Fresh basil sprigs, for garnish

Preheat the oven to 400F. Toss the potato, yam, bell pepper,
carrots, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 13 by 9 by 2-inch
baking dish to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss until
coated. Spread vegetables evenly over the bottom of the pan.

Arrange the onion slices evenly over the vegetable mixture.
Arrange the zucchini over the onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons
of oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the tomato slices
over the zucchini.

Stir the Parmesan and bread crumbs in a small bowl to blend.
Sprinkle the Parmesan bread crumbs over the vegetables in the
baking dish. Drizzle with the last tablespoon of olive oil.

Bake uncovered until the vegetables are tender, and the topping
is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil sprigs,
if desired.
