Oven-Roasted Herby Vegetable Casserole with Four-Cheese Crust

Ingredients

- 1 head of lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 head of red cabbage, sliced thinly
- 2 large carrots, peeled and julienned
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon tomato powder
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano cheese
- 3/4 cup four-cheese crumbles (Mozzarella, Provolone, Asiago, Fontina)
- 1/2 cup herby breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare Vegetables
In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, sliced red cabbage, and julienned carrots. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.

3. Prepare the Ranch Mixture
In a separate smaller bowl, mix the ranch dressing with the tomato powder until it's well combined.

4. Assemble the Casserole
In a large oven-safe casserole dish, spread the vegetable mixture evenly across the bottom. Pour the ranch and tomato mixture over the vegetables and gently stir to coat.

5. Add Cheese and Breadcrumbs
Sprinkle the grated Parmigiano cheese evenly over the top of the coated vegetables, followed by the four-cheese crumbles.

6. Top with Herby Breadcrumbs
Finally, evenly spread the herby breadcrumbs over the cheese layer to create a lovely, crisp crust.

7. Bake
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the breadcrumbs have turned a golden brown. Consider checking the dish halfway through to ensure even browning.

8. Cool and Serve
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful dinner!
