Ratatouille
Ratatouille is a bright and chunky summer vegetable stew, that can be made with a variety of vegetables. Take the ingredient list as a guide and just use what you have.
Ingredients
- 1 small red onion
- 2 cloves medium garlic
- 1 small eggplant
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 1 large tomato
- 3 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Rinse and peel onion. Peel garlic. Rinse eggplant, zucchini, squash, and tomato.
- Dice onion and eggplant into ½-inch pieces. Slice zucchini and squash into ½-inch slices. Chop tomato. Mince garlic.
- In a medium bowl, add onion, eggplant, zucchini, squash, garlic, oil, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until veggies are well coated.
- Coat baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Spread veggies out in a single layer so they do not touch. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Add tomato to baking sheet. Return baking sheet to oven. Bake, stirring occasionally, until veggies are golden crisp, about 15–20 minutes more.
Notes
Serve over polenta, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, or with hearty whole grain bread.
For a faster version, cook veggies in a large skillet on top of the stove with 1 teaspoon oil instead of baking
