I’ve been going back and forth between eating a lot of veggies and eating nothing but bread and carbs, and I can’t be the only one, right? Sometimes, it’s veggies with bread, which seems like a decent compromise to me.
This is one of those vegetable heavy recipes that is super easy, super tasty, and goes with just about anything you want to put it with. It’s not really a traditional ratatouille, in that it’s not exactly stewed, but it has the same ingredients, so that’s what I’m calling it. The hardest part of this is slicing the vegetables, and if you have a mandolin, that makes it even better (I like a handheld one because it doesn’t require a lot of space or pieces and parts.)
Once sliced, just layer them in a casserole dish, pie plate, or whatever you have that’s safe to put in the oven. Drizzle with a bit of oil, add some herbs, cover and bake. So easy.
Eat this with your favorite roast or grilled protein, or just eat it with some crusty bread. I don’t have to tell you my preferred way.
