When I look at the seasonal veggies in my fridge this week, eggplant and zuchinni included, I knew there was only one savory gluten free dish that I wanted to make: Ratatouille.
I made my ratatouille with the modern presentation twist (inspired by the ratatouille made in Disney’s Ratatouille)! It’s such a fun and colorful dish to serve to family and friends–healthy too! (Just remember to go easy on the cheese…)
This Gluten Free Fall Ratatouille recipe goes great with chicken, rice, couscous, pasta or even steak!
Ingredients for Ratatouille
- olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium green pepper (optional)
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Small can tomato sauce
- 1 small eggplant.
- 1 medium-large zucchini.
- 4 vine tomatoes
*Try to find eggplant, squash and tomatoes in roughly the same diameter if available*
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- Mozzarella cheese
How to make Cheesy Gluten Free Ratatouille
- Preheat your oven to 400° and heat 4 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet
- Cut onion (and optional green pepper) into slivers. Sautee in oil with ½ of your garlic for a few minutes and add pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Once onions are translucent, add your tomato sauce to the pan and lower heat.
- To prepare the eggplant, zucchini and tomatoes, cut off stems and slide each vegetable about ¼ inch thick.
- Once your vegetables are prepped, transfer the onions and sauce into the bottom of a glass pan.
- Arrange your sliced vegetables in rows on top of the sauce. Drizzling with olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper as you go.
- Sprinkle the remaining garlic on top of the rows of vegetables and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Cook 40 min to 1 hour. Remove the disk when vegetables are tender and sprinkle cheese on top. Return to the oven uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
