2 zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices

1 small fennel bulb, cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch thick slices
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, to taste

2 tablespoons italian seasoning
1/2 cup black olives, diced and pitted
1/4 cup white wine vinegar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 500°F
Arrange vegetables on a baking sheet and brush both sides.
Season with salt and pepper.
Place in oven and roast for 7 to 8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
When vegetables are cool enough to handle begin layering using a springform pan that has a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom.
Place eggplant in the bottom of the dish, drizzle with some olive oil, and add some of the garlic.
Add some of the fresh herbs, and then some olives.
Sprinkle a little vinegar on top and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Continue to layer vegetables, along with seasonings, adding the peppers next, and then fennel, and finally the zucchini.
Cover with plastic wrap and let chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
Release pan and use the parchment to carefully slide onto a serving platter.
