VEGETABLE RHAPSODY
Rhapsody was a creation from my earlier cookbook, in the late 80’s.  The original casseroles, were packed with nightshade vegetables and seasonings. Today’s version is nightshade free, and gluten free.  The flavors have improved, but the concept is the same.  A healthy main course, or side-dish,  full of nutritional, colorful vegetables, and surprising tastes. 
Preheat oven 400 degrees.   Serves 4-6.

1 large sweet potato, peeled and thinly sliced
½ onion, chopped
2 turnips, peeled and thinly sliced
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
1-2 zucchini, sliced ½ inch thick
3 cups cabbage, sliced
   (divide all vegetables)
1/2 cup tamari, divided
1 teaspoon garlic flakes, divided
1-2 tablespoon Italian herb mix, divided
Salt and pepper, divided
1 cup Parmesan, divided

Coat a medium casserole, with vegetable oil spray.  Layer half of the vegetables, then add half the tamari, seasonings, and Parmesan.  Repeat second layer, and slightly press vegetables.  Cover and bake approximately 50 minutes, or until vegetables are tender throughout casserole.
