1. Preheat the oven to 350°F

3. Repeat process with a zucchini, spinach, red onions, beefsteak tomato rings, and portobellos until all have been sautéed. Cool and set aside.

4. Place the cherry tomatoes into the pan without oil, topside down, and cook until the tops of the tomatoes have turned dark brown.

5. Begin making the stacks by placing the sautéed portobellos smooth side down onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and then make a layer of yellow squash. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, then continue making layers of vegetables and cheese, alternating colors, until the stacks are complete. Bake for 10 minutes, or until all cheese is melted and vegetables are warm.

6. When the vegetables are warm, placed each stack in the middle of a plate. Spoon some tomato sauce around the edge of each stack. Arrange three cherry tomatoes around the vegetables.
