Preparation
- Preheat the oven for 375˚F (190˚C).
- Slice the eggplant, tomatoes, squash, and zucchini into approximately ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1-mm) rounds, then set aside.
- Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch (30-cm) oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and bell peppers until soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the crushed tomatoes. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Remove from heat, then add the basil. Stir once more, then smooth the surface of the sauce with a spatula.
- Arrange the sliced veggies in alternating patterns, (for example, eggplant, tomato, squash, zucchini) on top of the sauce from the outer edge to the middle of the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, then bake for another 20 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Mix herb seasoning ingredients and pour over the cooked ratatouille.
- Serve while hot as a main dish or side. The ratatouille is also excellent the next day--cover with foil and reheat in a 350˚F (180˚C) oven for 15 minutes, or simply microwave to desired temperature.
- Enjoy!

Absolutely amazing! I used a mandolin to keep the slices extra and evenly thin. Came out just like the movie ratatouille 😃😃😃😃

Turned out delicious! As for tips, I would recommend keeping in mind the size of all your vegetables when shopping so that they all have roughly the same size slices. If one vegetable’s slices are too big (like my eggplant was), you can cut it in halves or quarters and lay them curved side up and no one will know!

Delicious and very filling! Served with fresh bread which made this dish last longer than 8 servings!

Loved this recipe! It’s very flavorful, fulfilling, and a great way to eat more veggies. I also bought a French baguette and dipped it in the tomato sauce!
