- 1-2 peeled potato thinly sliced (or butternut squash)
- 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup fine cornmeal
- 1.5-2 cups vegan milk (soy, almond etc.)
- 1 cup sundried tomatoes strips (drained)
- 1/2 cup vegan shredded cheese (Violife, Follow Your Heart, Chao...)
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried rosemary, sage or thymes

Prepare the vegetables
Remove the stems of the zucchini. Using a mandoline, make thin slices. Sprinkle with salt. Set in a colander for 5 minutes. Drain all the water and pat dry.
Fill another bowl with water. Peel the potatoes and slice them with the mandoline. Place in the water bowl.
Slice the onions. Heat up a frying pan with a little oil, and pan fry them until golden.
Make the batter
Mix the all-purpose flour with the fine cornmeal. Add the shredded cheese, rosemary, sage, garlic powder.
Mix the vegan milk with the sun-dried tomato strips.
Combine both. If it is too thick add a little water so that it can coat all the vegetables.
Putting it together
Line or oil a baking sheet or baking dish.
Turn the oven on to 375° F.
Pat dry the potato slices.
Place some of the batter on the bottom and add one layer of potatoes.
Combine the remaining batter with all the vegetables making sure that everything is well coated.
Pour the vegetables over the potatoes and smooth out and even out the top.
Season with salt and pepper.
Bake covered with foil for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until done.
Top with fresh basil leaves, vegan parmesan, pine nuts or chili oil.
Let it cool down for a few minutes before cutting portions.
Buon apetito!
