I love ratatouille roasted in the oven. It is so easy to just throw all the vegetables together on a baking sheet. Just make sure to place the vegetables are on a single layer in the roasting pan to ensure roasting and prevent steaming. I think its wonderful how you can put so many different vegetables together and make one beautiful dish. All the flavors compliment each other so nicely. I like to make this dish when I want to eat healthy. I served my ratatouille with a wonderful panko crusted chicken strip that I will share latter this week.
