Recipe Notes

  • This recipe can be doubled and adapted to use whatever vegetables you have, just double the ingredients
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Use the freshest produce. Don’t take those tomatoes that look like you’d better use them up. The success of ratatouille depends on the freshness of your vegetables. Take the time to choose fresh vegetables and your vegetable ratatouille will taste vibrant and delicious!
  • Slice all the vegetables as uniformly as you can. This will ensure they cook evenly and same aesthetic view.
  • Cover the dish. You don’t want the top burning while it takes its time in the oven!
