Excerpt

Oven-Roasted Ratatouille
Traditionally, ratatouille is a dish of summer vegetables that are simmered for a long time in their own juices. In this version, the vegetables are cut into large pieces and roasted briefly, which concentrates and intensifies their flavors.
 
SERVES 6–8
1 lb (500 g) plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
4 large cloves garlic, sliced
1 large yellow onion, halved and cut crosswise into slices ¼ inch (6 mm) thick
1 small eggplant, trimmed and cut into
1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks
1 small zucchini, trimmed and cut crosswise into slices ½ inch (12 mm) thick
1 small yellow crookneck squash, trimmed and cut crosswise into slices ½ inch (12 mm) thick
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into
1½ - inch (4-cm) squares
5 Tbsp (3 fl oz/80 ml) olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
¼ cup (⅓ oz/10 g) finely shredded fresh basil
2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
 
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
 
In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, onion, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, and bell pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil, sprinkle generously with salt, and toss to coat. Transfer the vegetables to a large rimmed baking sheet and arrange in a single layer.
 
Roast the vegetables, stirring once or twice, for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the basil and thyme. Continue to roast, again stirring once or twice, until the biggest pieces are tender when pierced with a fork, 5–10 minutes longer. Remove the vegetables from the oven and season with salt and pepper.
 
Transfer the ratatouille to a bowl. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
