• 1 large Eggplant
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 4 medium Roma tomatoes
• 1 medium Red onion
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 leaves Fresh basil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and dice the zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and Roma tomatoes into even, bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes).

Step 3

Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges, ensuring the layers stay intact for even roasting.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes, and onion wedges.

Step 6

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then sprinkle with the minced garlic, fresh thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 7

Spread the seasoned vegetables out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to promote even caramelization.

Step 9

Once the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, remove them from the oven and taste for seasoning, adding additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Transfer the roasted ratatouille to a serving dish and garnish with freshly torn basil leaves before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as a main dish with crusty bread or as a flavorful side dish to complement grilled chicken, fish, or pasta.
