How to Make Baked Ratatouille Gratin

  4. Add 2 medium zucchini (sliced), 2 medium yellow squash (sliced), 1 medium onion (chopped), and 1 medium eggplant (cubed) to the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Uncover the dish. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and salt to taste. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly.

  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
