| I love my springform pans I use them for so many things, I think I have every size they make. They're great for layering vegetables that are "glued together" with various cheese, as in this torte. This recipe was born from small containers of roasted vegetables I had tucked away in my fridge, and one large sweet potato, and I must say it turned out mighty good, a different variation than my zucchini, eggplant version. |

| You can't get a better side dish because everything is all contained in one flavorful wedge! I started with very thinly sliced sweet potato, then each layer a different veg, sprinkling grated cheese in between and ending with the sweet potato on top. I used a 6 inch springform pan that was deep and allowed me to have many layers, just remember to press down in between, place the pan on a baking sheet so you won't have drips in your oven when cooking and cover the top with foil. Roast at 425 for 20 minutes, then take the foil off and roast another 15 minutes until the top is golden. Let it rest for 30 minutes before you slice it into wedges. |

| Use your imagination and the vegetables of your choice, here's a list of what I used for my winter vegetable torte. No doubt I will be making this again! Buon Appetito |

How do you come up with these great ideas? Such a spectacular dish for both vegetarians and non- vegetarians.
This looks so delicious, actually a complete vegan meal. xo
It llok beautiful, Marie, and it is a wonderful way to eat the assortment of vegetables we should have each day to stay healthy.
YUM!! I LOVE these kinds of meals and my guess it would keep quite well. I can't wait to give this one a go! :)
gorgeous! love this!
That looks extremely yummy!!
Wow. Just bookmarked this and will make it this week. It is beautiful!
It looks so tasty! And you can prepare it in advance and eat it when you like it.
Thank you :-)
This is beautiful and creative. Great for vegetarians. Wonderful! Brava!

It is gorgeous and I am hungry for it right now! You've inspired me to make a brunch version of this when my daughte and new boyfriend come to visit next week!
Looks delicious! I would eat this as an entree too - maybe with a cup of soup or a meat & cheese antipasto.
I bought a spring form pan after reading about it on this site and shall be making this very, very soon. Looks absolutely beautiful. Great job, thank you.
You have a little bit of everything in there, looks so good.
OMG! that looks so good.
Vegetables never had it so good.
Hi,
Recently linked to your site from another and added you to my Google Reader. Want to make this! But, first two questions:
1. did you cook the sweet potato first? If not, I was thinking that it might have trouble cooking through - but perhaps it didn't since it was on the bottom.
2. I have to assume your squash was pre-cooked...did you do it in slices or puree and "spread" as a a layer? I guess either might work but was curious to know your method.
Thank you - as a vegetarian it is wonderful to see such healthy and varied dishes!
Anonymous, I did not cook the sweet potato first, no need to I sliced it very thin and you cook it for 20 minutes with foil on top. The sweet potato is on the very top and the bottom of the tortr. All other vegetables were roasted ahead of time, and it dosen't matter if you use sliced or pureed squash, it all works. Remember to let it cool down before cutting into it.
Love using up leftovers like this...makes a great vegetarian meal. I agree...spring form pans are fun.
I pinned this recipe - absolutely fabulous idea! I'll be making this for my next dinner party.
wow..sounds scrumptiously tasty..
just found your space...awesome space you have..
lovely posts with great cliks..
happy following you..;)
do stop by mine sometime..
Tasty Appetite
Wow! A Tower of beautiful colors and lovely veggies. Who says eating vegetarian is boring? Beautiful job!
I'd enjoy this any time. Not just as a side dish—it's a fine main course, if you ask me!
I can't express how beautiful this looks. I can't wait to give it a try.
You MUST write a cookbook! Are you just waiting for the right assistant to come along? Here I am. Let's get started :)
Now this is a great way to enjoy some vegetables!
Thank you so much for responding to my 2 questions above! MOST appreciated. I will use my mandoline to slice the sweet potato really thin as you had advised. Will probably just roast the squash and slice rather than puree to save a step too. Can't wait to try this - and your other veggie torte variations I found that you have posted previously.
Oh, and on a side note, wanted to share I made your broccoli side salad (from "Party Sides" posting this past April) over the weekend. I paired it with your stuffed acorn squash - minus the sausage & plus some other veggies instead. Both were DELICIOUS!! Especially the salad - blanching the broccoli was a marvelous idea and pairing it with the saltiness of kalamata olives, etc. with the roasted sunflower seeds I threw in made it so tasty - a fantastic variation on the usual creamy broccoli salad. In fact my fiance ate 2 bowls of just the broccoli salad and half a squash and he isn't that big of an eater normally!!) Definitely going on the regular menu list!! THANK YOU!
Gorgeous! What a beautiful way to use up leftovers and make them appetizing (an understatement if there ever was one... :) )
Splendid! That torte looks incredibly delicious.
Cheers,
Rosa

Wow, that's spectacular, Marie. I'm making a birthday dinner next week for my son and this will have to be on the menu. Love that you started and ended with sweet potatoes.
I gotta pull out my springform pan. This is fabulous Marie.
I was in your neck-of-the-woods for a quick visit with the family last weekend. Gee, I sure do love dining in that town!

P.S. Thanks for that sweet comment on my post about the quinoa meatball landscape!
What a beautiful dish, Marie! Love all the veggies cuddled up with cheese.
WOW! This looks fantastic!
