An approachable and authentic vegetable-forward ratatouille, perfect for a healthy dinner or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Add diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for at least 20 minutes, or until vegetables are very tender and flavors have melded. For a thicker stew, continue simmering uncovered.
  7. Serve hot.

Notes

  • This ratatouille is excellent for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Serve as a side dish, over pasta, rice, or quinoa, or with crusty bread.
