Ingredients

For the Vegetables

1 large Eggplant Adds a meaty texture; substitute with zucchini or mushrooms for a lower-carb option.
1 large Zucchini Provides moisture and tenderness; grey zucchinis can offer a slightly different taste.
1 large Yellow Squash Contributes mild sweetness; any type of squash can work here for variety.
1 large Onion Offers sweetness and depth; shallots can be a sweeter alternative.
4 large Roma Tomatoes Essential for a cohesive tomato base; canned tomatoes can be used if fresh aren't available.

For the Sauce

1 can Tomato Sauce 14.5 ounces; serves as the sauce base; homemade tomato puree can substitute for an even richer flavor.
2 tablespoons Olive Oil Enhances flavor and helps roast the vegetables; substitute with avocado oil for a higher smoke point.
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Complements the vegetables with classic herbs; fresh herbs can provide a fresher taste.
1 tablespoon Sweet Basil Adds aromatic sweetness; use fresh basil if available for more intensity.

For Seasoning

1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor; adjust according to taste and dietary restrictions.
1 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds warmth; white pepper can be a milder substitution.

For Finishing Touch

½ cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Offers a savory finish; nutritional yeast can be used for dairy-free diets.
