Cooking Steps
Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut zucchini into bite-sized chunks. Place zucchini and peeled & chopped pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle generously with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
Meanwhile, finely chop onion and garlic. Thinly slice pear (see ingredients).
In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook onion until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, vegetable stock powder, a good pinch of brown sugar, the butter and a splash of water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 5-6 minutes. Stir in 1/2 the mixed leaves until just wilted. Season to taste.
While the sauce is simmering, combine panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Season, then stir to combine.
Transfer roasted veggies to a baking dish. Add the tomato sauce, gently stirring to combine. Top evenly with shredded Cheddar cheese, followed by the pangrattato. Bake until golden, 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine pear and remaining mixed leaves in a second medium bowl. Add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season, then toss to coat.
Divide cheesy pumpkin, tomato and veggie bake between plates. Serve with pear salad.
