Traditional Greek Ratatouille, called Briami in Greek, has eggplant and typically more olive oil than the recipe below. This recipe doesn’t include eggplant but you can easily add it in if you like it! The beauty of this recipe is that there are many ways you can make it. For example, if you prefer bell peppers over zucchini, it’s an easy swap. As a Mediterranean dish, this is the perfect plant-based accompaniment to any lunch or dinner. It is packed with fiber, from the assortment of vegetables and anti-inflammatory ingredients like olive oil, garlic and onion. All are beneficial for fighting off disease, protecting your heart, brain, etc.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a glass, ceramic or stainless steel baking dish.

In a large mixing bowl, add all of the chopped vegetables, olive oil, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, salt and all dried spices. Mix with hands to combine.

Pour coated vegetables onto baking dish. Add water, enough for the vegetables to sit in, approximately 1 inch. The vegetables shouldn’t be crowding each other and should fit in one even layer (they are ok to touch!).

Roast 45-50 minutes or until a fork easily goes through the potatoes. Check on the vegetables often to make sure there is enough liquid so that they don’t burn.

Serve with your choice of protein like chicken, fish or steak. You can top with feta cheese, too!
