About the Recipe
The term tian is often used for a French vegetable casserole, but a tian is actually a round baking dish filled with layered, overlapping vegetables and a fragrant sauce — similar to the better-known ratatouille.

How to make vegan tian
Slice your vegetables into thin slices using a sharp knife or mandoline. They don’t have to be perfect by any means, just around the same thickness.
Get a medium-sized baking dish, preferably round.
Cover the bottom with tomato sauce. Then, start layering your sliced vegetables on top of it!
Create a beautiful pattern out of your seasonal vegetables by alternating between them.
Season with herbs, salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil if you like!
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until the vegetables become soft and fragrant.
