So this meal involves a little vegetable chopping.
Okay, Fine. A LOT of chopping.
But it is worth every second. I promise.
We all loved this…including the boys.
Roasted Garden Ratatouille
All the veggie chopping is so worth it!
Servings - 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 small green bell pepper
- 1 medium eggplant
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 1 medium zucchini
- 2 cups 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
- Fresh herbs from the garden - basil, oregano, and thyme
- 2 Tbsp Tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- First chop the eggplant and season with some salt. Place in a strainer or colander in the sink and let the juices out while you chop everything else, or for about 30 minutes. When you are ready to throw it all together, rinse off the salt/juices and pat dry.
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Then chop every else into 1/2 or so size pieces. Chop the herbs. Toss everything into a large bowl with the olive oil and season with some salt and pepper.
- Place the marinated veggies in baking dish or baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Serve Roasted Gardan Ratatouille!

I love the idea of a roasted version! The one I’m linking up is a stir fry.

That looks wonderful Erin! I linked up a nice crock pot Balsamic Chicken that would go great with these roasted veggies… Mmmmm Mmmmm good! My mouth is watering just thinking about it 🙂

Ever since I got my big girl knives a few years ago for Christmas, I just live to chop. It’s a great stress reliever for me. The dish looks delicious.
Thanks for the carnival.
Paula says
Your ratatouile looks delicious! I had been looking for a good eggplant recipe. Last time I went to the pick fresh farm I picked up an eggplant and he suggested a stir fry. It was very good but I think your dish looks even better.
