Why we love it:

Ratatouille is the best when made in summer when all of the veggies are in season and flavorful. We make it multiple ways - classically sautéed, grilled, finely chopped, chunky - but this kind is a one-step, one-pan wonder and definitely a method we’ll be returning to.

Ingredients

  • 1 Eggplant
  • 2 Bell Pepper (Orange, Yellow or Red)s
  • 3 Roma Tomatos
  • 1⁄2 pound Zucchini (about 2 - 3)
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1⁄4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 11⁄2 teaspoons Kosher Salt (divided)
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Crusty Bread (4 slices)
  • 1⁄2 bunch Basil
  • 8 ounces Burrata Cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

Cooking Instructions

  • 1. PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 425 DEGREES
  • 2. CHOP

    Dice the eggplant into about ½” cubes; place on an unlined baking sheet. Dice the bell pepper, tomato, and zucchini into pieces slightly larger than the eggplant. Add to the baking sheet. Smash the garlic and peel it; add. Pour the olive oil over top of the pan. Add the oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Toss and spread in an even layer. Place in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes, tossing once or twice during this time.

  • 3. BREAD

    Slice the bread and spread with butter on both sides. Sprinkle with salt.

    Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and toast until deeply golden brown on both sides.

  • 4. FINISH

    Tear or slice basil. When veggies are done, mash the garlic with a fork and scrape the pan into a bowl with all of the juices. Toss to combine.

  • 5. SERVING

    Spoon in bowls add bread and a piece of the burrata on top.

How to Tweak This Recipe for Kids:

  • Keep things slightly more separate before tossing all of the veggies together
  • Add a vegetable to the mix that is familiar and liked - doesn’t matter if that means broccoli or mushrooms, etc.
  • Consider adding pasta to the plate
  • Add a grain like rice or quinoa for protein or top with a fried egg

For Toddlers

  • Chop the roasted veggies up more finely for an easier texture
  • Omit burrata and serve with something like mozzarella cheese instead

For Choosy Eaters

  • If not vegetarians, add something familiar like diced chicken, hot dog, sausage, or a piece of ham to the sheet pan to bake
  • Add a vegetable they like when roasting (peas, edamame, corn, potato, etc.)
  • Serve with pasta or rice

Prep Ahead & Use It Up

  1. This is amazing made in advance. Store for up to a week and reheat or serve cold
  2. It also freezes well. I love leftover ratatouille served over pasta

Culinary Skills

You can chop the veggies more finely and sauté them instead. Or try this on the BBQ too – I like to leave the pieces large to grill, then chop the cooked veggies up finely.
