Brian and I made this last Sunday, then lived off it this past week and loved every delicious bite.
Eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, tomatoes, garlic, onion and fresh herbs are tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted in the oven. When it comes out, the house smells incredible.
Splash with a little balsamic vinegar, then either store it away in the fridge for the workweek or eat some right away. Or freeze!
Ways to serve Ratatouille
The first night we served the ratatouille over creamy polenta – so homey and cozy.
The second night it was tossed with pasta along with capers and grated pecorino.
The last night we had it over garlic toast, topped with a poached egg. So simple and full of end-of-summer flavor.
If possible, use locally grown ingredients from the farmer’s market – this may be the very last weekend of the season to find these at the market.
And here is the ratatouille served over toast with an egg.
This could be breakfast or dinner!

Description
Baked Sheet-Pan Ratatouille is easy, healthy and vegan! Bake a big batch on Sunday then serve it during the busy workweek over pasta, polenta or even toast!
Ingredients
- 3 Japanese eggplant or one large eggplant
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 2 zucchini or summer squash
- 1 onion
- 8–14 garlic cloves, whole, peeled
- 2–3 tablespoon fresh herbs – thyme or rosemary or combination of both
- olive oil for drizzling
- salt and pepper to taste
- splash balsamic vinegar
Optional Garnishes: Italian parsley or fresh basil ribbons, capers, chili flakes, olive oil
Serve with pasta, soft polenta, whole grains, or feel free to add beans, sausage, chicken.
Easy Creamy Polenta
- 1 cup corn meal
- 4 1/2 cups water or stock
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1/2 cup grated cheese ( cheddar, Parmesan, mozzarella, goat cheese)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F and place a piece of parchment on 1-2 large sheet pans ( I use two).
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel eggplant if you want – or just remove some of the skin in long strips. Or if you prefer, leave the skin on. Cut into ½ inch thick bite-sized pieces. Slice the bell pepper into ½ inch wide strips. Cut the tomatoes into 3/4 inch wedges. Slice the zucchini the long way and then slice into ½ inch thick half-moons. Slice the onion into ¼-½ inch thick half-moons.
- Spread out the veggies on the sheet pan in a single layer (this is why you most likely need two sheet pans). Add whole garlic cloves (peeled) and herbs.
- Drizzle with olive oil and toss, using enough oil to coat. Sprinkle with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Toss well.
- Roast in the hot oven for 20 minutes, mix the veggies, roast 20 more minutes, mix again. Turn heat down to 300 and roast 10-20 more minutes, or until tender and edges begin to caramelize.
- Taste, adjust salt, and drizzle with a little splash of balsamic vinegar.
- Use immediately or cool and refrigerate (or freeze) until ready to use.
Notes
Garlic: I really love garlic so I add a lot here, feel free to cut back if you like!
To serve over Creamy Polenta: Bring water or stock to a boil in a medium pot. Slowly add polenta while whisking vigorously. Cover and cook 15 minutes on low heat. Stir in butter and cheese. Salt and pepper generously. Heat the Ratatouille, adding more olive oil if you like.
Divide among bowls and place warm Ratatouille over top. Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley.
To serve with pasta: cook pasta according to directions. Heat Ratatouille in a large skillet adding a little more olive oil and capers (optional). Stir in the cooked pasta, adjust salt. Sprinkle with grated pecorino (optional) and fresh herbs.
To serve over toast: Toast the bread, heat up the Ratatouille and poach an egg. Drizzle toast with a little olive oil, top with warm Ratatouille and poached egg. Season with salt and pepper and top with fresh herbs.

Great to hear Ana!
Such an easy meal to prep! Love that I toss it in the oven and can have a clean kitchen by the end of cooking. Just me or does that make dinner taste even better?
★★★★★
I agree!
This is the most amazing, tasty meal. I make it regularly and it is easy and delicious every time! It is my best eggplant recipe, but it is so much more than an eggplant recipe. And the creamy polenta makes the dish sing!
★★★★★
Love it Winser! So glad you are enjoying.
Can I make ahead and serve room temperature?
Yes, absolutely!
Thank you — I’m preparing Easter dinner will it taste as good if I make day before and if so how would I reheat?
I would gently reheat in a baking dish in a 350F oven.
