Ingredients

  

• 1

  eggplant

• 2

  zucchinis

• 1

  yellow bell pepper

• 1

  red bell pepper

• 2

  large tomatoes

• 1

  onion

• 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

 

• Start by slicing the eggplant, zucchinis, and bell peppers into thin rounds or strips. You can leave the skin on.
• Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds as well. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or ovenproof pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
• Add the sliced onion and sauté for a few minutes until it becomes translucent.
• Arrange the sliced vegetables in an alternating pattern, overlapping slightly, around the skillet. You can start from the outer edge and work your way in.
• Sprinkle the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper evenly over the vegetables.
• Cover the skillet and let the vegetables simmer over low-medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy. You can occasionally press the vegetables gently with a spatula to help them cook evenly.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Once the vegetables are tender, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the top to become slightly browned.
• Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

  Your Ratatouille is now ready to be served! It's a delightful, colorful dish that not only pays homage to the film but also makes for a delicious and healthy meal. Enjoy!
