Ingredients
Base
- 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL, divided
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup finely diced white onion about 1 onion
- 1 15-oz can crushed tomatoes 425 g
Veggies
- 3 medium zucchinis can also use yellow squash
- 1 medium eggplant
- 5 medium roma tomatoes
Seasonings
- 1 tsp herbs de provence or ¼ tsp rosemary, ¼ tsp oregano, ½ tsp thyme
- 1 Tbsp fresh basil chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes use less if you don't like spicy
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Base: Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat, then add garlic and onion. Cook until onion softens, about 5 minutes, then add crushed tomatoes. Let gently simmer, uncovered, until tomatoes have the texture of a thick paste, about 10 minutes.
- Veggies: While tomatoes simmer, thinly slice unpeeled zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes into ⅛ inch thick slices (easiest with a mandolin slicer). If some slices are wider than others, you can cut them in half so they're roughly the same size
- Seasonings: Remove tomato mixture from heat and stir in seasonings.
- Assemble: Spread tomato mixture into the bottom of a large casserole dish or tart pan. Working from the outer edge, layer veggies on top of the sauce in an alternating pattern (ex: eggplant - tomato - zucchini - repeat). You may not use all the veggies, depending on the size of your pan.
- Bake: Brush veggies with remaining olive oil and bake for 1 hour, or until veggies are tender. If top begins to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.

Notes
- Optionally garnish with fresh parsley and shredded parmesan.
- Make it a main dish by adding some cooked button mushrooms or seasoned grated tempeh to the tomato sauce base.
- Do I have to use a French tian dish?Nope! Any baking dish will work just fine. If you use a square or rectangular dish, you can arrange your vegetable slices in rows if that’s easier.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days.
- Heating leftover ratatouilleExtra ratatouille tian should be kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Leftovers can be reheated by either microwaving in 15-second increments or placing in the oven to warm. Enjoy leftovers within 3 days.
