Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 2 medium yellow squash, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 2 medium eggplant, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 3 large Roma tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. This is your flavor base.
  3. Arrange the sliced vegetables in the prepared baking dish, alternating the zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, and tomato slices in a tight, overlapping pattern. Start and end with the onion slices if you have them.
  4. Drizzle the prepared olive oil mixture evenly over the arranged vegetables.
  5. Pour the vegetable broth into the bottom of the baking dish, avoiding pouring directly over the top layer of vegetables.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned on top.
  9. Let the roasted ratatouille rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can sprinkle fresh basil or parsley over the dish after it comes out of the oven.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute half of the vegetable broth with dry white wine.
  • This dish works well as a side or as a main course for a healthy vegetarian dinner.
