Ingredients
-
1 small eggplant, diced
-
1 small zucchini, diced
-
1 small red bell pepper, diced
-
1 small yellow bell pepper, diced
-
1 small red onion, diced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon dried basil
-
1 Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 cup tomato sauce (store-bought or homemade)
-
1 Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Directions
Make sure to preheat the oven to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic.
Drizzle the olive oil over the diced vegetables, and then add the dried thyme, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Direction: Keep an eye on the vegetables while roasting to prevent burning.
While the vegetables are roasting, heat the tomato sauce in a saucepan over low heat until it’s warmed through.
Once the vegetables are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
To assemble the Ratatouille Bites, spoon a small amount of the roasted vegetable mixture onto each toothpick or skewer, and then dip it into the warm tomato sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
