Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven-Roasted Ratatouille.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Next, gather your fresh vegetables: eggplant, zucchinis, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and garlic.
Step 3
Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, creating a colorful medley that’s sure to brighten your kitchen.
Step 4
Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the veggies, then sprinkle them with fragrant rosemary, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper.
Step 5
Give everything a good toss, ensuring each piece is beautifully coated in that delicious olive oil and seasoning.
Step 6
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the vegetables roast for about 20 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Step 7
After that, stir the mixture gently and let it roast for another 12 minutes, allowing those flavors to deepen.
Step 8
Once you’ve reached that perfect tenderness, lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) and continue roasting until the vegetables begin to caramelize, which should take about 10 more minutes.
Step 9
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! To finish off this delightful dish, drizzle the roasted vegetables with a splash of balsamic vinegar just before serving.
Step 10
This adds a tangy sweetness that perfectly complements the savory flavors.
Step 11
Enjoy your vibrant, roasted vegetable medley as a side dish or a main event on your dinner table!.
