Recette de la Ratatouille maison à ma façon, un plat d"été sain et savoureux

eggplant

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: mushrooms

Zucchini is lower in calories and mushrooms are often more affordable.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and canola oil is generally less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheese blend

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

fresh basil

🥗Healthier: dried basil

💰Cheaper: basil paste

Dried basil has a longer shelf life and is often cheaper.

Dice the eggplant and sprinkle with salt; let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture.

Rinse and pat dry the eggplant, then chop zucchini and bell peppers into similar-sized pieces.

Chop onion and mince garlic finely.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers to the skillet; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, water, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper; mix well.

Transfer the vegetable mixture to a baking dish and cover with foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until slightly caramelized.
