Summer is the best time for light meals. Seasonal vegetables can make a great base for healthy meals that cook very quickly. This flaky dish is reminiscent of lasagna, but lacks heavy pasta and cheese. Best served with a slice of toasted bread.

3. Combine crushed garlic with olive oil. Sprinkle some of the oil on a baking dish.
