Baked Ratatouille
Baked Ratatouille layers thinly sliced zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, and Roma tomatoes in a spiral pattern over a base of tomato basil pasta sauce with sautéed bell pepper. Fresh herbs and garlic infused olive oil drizzle adds aromatic flavor. Baking covered then uncovered softens the vegetables evenly, melding their flavors into a tender, colorful dish.
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini
- 2 yellow squash
- 2 small eggplant small size
- 5 Roma tomato
- 26 ounces tomato basil pasta sauce
- 1 bell pepper yellow or red
- 2 Tablespoons parsley fresh
- 2 Tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 Tablespoons basil fresh, about 7-9 leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 4 Tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare your veggies. Slice your zucchini into thin coins and repeat for each vegetable. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare your sauce. Saute diced bell pepper in a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once heated (about 3-4min), add your sauce and reduce heat to low. Once warmed, pour sauce into the base of your cast iron skillet (I used a 12')
- Next, layer vegetable coins in a spiral pattern around the skillet until the entire pan is covered.
- Prepare your herb drizzle. Combine the minced garlic, chopped thyme, basil and parsley with 4 T of olive oil and salt and pepper. Mix well and evenly pour over the top of the veggies.
- Cover finished dish with tinfoil and bake for 40-45 minutes covered, and remove the foil for the last 15-20 minutes until the veggies are soft.
Notes
- This dish is flexible for use as either a main meal or side dish and allows for adding other favorite vegetables.
- Vegetable quantity may vary based on slicing thickness and skillet size, so you might not use all the vegetables listed.
