This Crispy Roasted Vegetable Stacks dish (often celebrated as a rustic Tian) turns humble root vegetables and gourds into a showstopping centerpiece. By slicing vegetables ultra-thin, shingling them tightly in a baking dish, and roasting them with a pool of seasoned olive oil, the edges crisp up beautifully while the centers become melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Finished with a generous crumble of tangy goat cheese or feta and aromatic fresh rosemary, it is a magnificent side dish for holiday feasts or an elegant vegetarian main course.
