Preparation
Step 1
If you use bell peppers of different colors, the finished dish will look bright and appetizing.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes. If you’re using young zucchini, leave them unpeeled. For mature ones, remove the skin and seeds. Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and core. Peel the onion and garlic. Wash all vegetables and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into small cubes or sticks.
Step 4
Chop the zucchini and peppers the same way. The way you cut the vegetables is up to you, but evenly sized pieces will cook at the same time and look neater.
Step 5
Finely chop the onion and mince or crush the garlic (you can use a garlic press).
Step 6
Place all vegetables into a large bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with your favorite spices - dried basil, Provençal herbs, or smoked paprika all work well. Mix everything thoroughly.
Step 7
In a baking dish or small clay pots, place the potatoes as the first layer and lightly salt them.
Step 8
Then add the other vegetables on top. Drizzle with a little vegetable oil (about 1 tbsp per pot). Pour in tomato juice. Cover the pots with lids and place in the oven. Bake until all vegetables are tender, about 1 to 1.5 hours. If starting in a cold oven, bake at 200°C (about 390°F) for 1.5 hours.
Step 9
Sprinkle the finished dish with fresh herbs, let it cool slightly, and serve.
Step 10
Wonderfully tasty on its own or as a side to pasta, meat, or other dishes.
