Press aluminum foil into the bottom and up the sides of the pan on top of the dough. Weigh if down with uncooked rice or pie weights. Place the tart on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the rice and foil and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degress.

To prepare filling-heat 1 teaspoon of oil in the pan over medium heat; cook the shallots stirring often until softened, 5 to 6 minutes.

Coat two baking sheets with cooking spray. Arrange the vegetables on the sheets in a single layer and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast vegetables until soft but not browned, about 15 minutes. Remover from oven and let cool.

Lower the temp to 350 degrees. Lay the eggplants slices on bottom of the tars, cover with a third of the mozzarella and some shredded basil. Repeat with the zucchini and then tomatoes. Cover the all the Parmesan. bake until cheese is melted and the vegetables have further wilted, 25-30 minutes. Remove from over, let cool for 5 minutes.
