Kumara Vegetable Stacks with Melting Cheese

Ingredients
- 1 red kumara
- 1 orange kumara
- 1 gold kumara
- oil spray
- sea salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 100 g baby spinach, blanched or wilted in the microwave
- 2 roasted capsicums, cut into 5cm squares
- 1/2 cup mozzarella or grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- leaves from 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Slice the kumara into 1cm rounds and arrange them on a lined baking tray. Spray the rounds with the oil and season with salt to taste. Bake the kumara for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
-
Layer the different coloured kumara slices with the wilted spinach, capsicum squares and cheese so that each stack has three layers of kumara and cheese is the final layer.
-
Bake the stacks for 10 to 15 minutes until they are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
-
Season and serve drizzled with the olive oil and garnished with the fresh thyme leaves.
