Ingredients

• 500 grams Cauliflower florets
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 250 milliliters Heavy cream
• 100 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 150 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Cut the zucchini and red bell pepper into thin slices.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets, zucchini slices, and bell pepper slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Spread the vegetables evenly in a large baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the gratin sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Heat until the garlic is fragrant and the cream is warm, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

After 20 minutes of roasting, remove the vegetables from the oven and pour the warm cream mixture over them.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses evenly over the top of the vegetables.

Step 8

Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and starts to turn golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
