Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Bell peppers — To enhance the flavor of the bell peppers, you can char them over an open flame or under the broiler before slicing and adding them to the dish.
  • Zucchini — If you prefer a firmer texture, you can lightly sauté the zucchini slices in a separate pan before adding them to the Strazzata.
  • Cherry tomatoes — To intensify the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes, you can sprinkle them with a pinch of sugar before roasting.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a more indulgent version, you can sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the Strazzata before serving.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile of the dish. Fresh basil, thyme, or rosemary can add a delightful aroma.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beaten eggs before cooking.
  • Feel free to add other roasted vegetables of your choice, such as eggplant or mushrooms, to create your own unique variation.
  • Leftover Strazzata can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated the next day.
