Roasted Ratatouille

By surethingjoemayo

Ingredients

• Recipe stolen from my awesome friend:
• the veggies
• 1 · 1 eggplant, peeled & cubed
• 1 · 1 large bell pepper, cut into squares approx. 3/4 inch
• 1 · 1 onion, sliced into rings
• 2 · 2 zucchinis, sliced into 3/4 in rounds
• · Tomatoes (I used 4 Roma, so if you use a bigger tomato, use less), diced
• the spices
• · lots of Minced Garlic (I used like 6 cloves)
• 1/4 · 1/4 c olive oil
• 2 · 2 heaping TB Herbs de Provence
• 1 · 1 TB salt
• · fresh ground pepper to taste
• *You will also need 1 TB of balsamic vinegar, but not until the end.
• the procedure
• 1 .) Preheat oven to 450º
• 2 .) Eggplant is super moist, and you want to get rid of that moisture
• by tossing it with salt and setting it inside of a towel.
• 3 .) While that's happening, you can prepare the spices. Just put all
• of them (except balsamic) together in a small bowl and mix.
• 4 .) Once the eggplant is dry, combine everything EXCEPT the tomatoes
• in a bowl and mix with your hands until everything is coated with the
• oil mixture.
• 5 .) Spread the veggies into one layer on a roasting pan, and roast
• them for about 30 minutes, until they are fall-apart soft.
• 6 .) Take them out of the oven, pour back into the bowl, and top with
• the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.
• 7 .) You're done! Serve this over some quinoa* and stick in some pretty crostini.
