Meatless Monday is an international campaign to encourage people to eat healthier and reduce
their carbon footprint by not eating meat on Mondays. Today
I'll be making Ratatouille as part of a special Meatless Monday playlist with
Entertaining with Beth
Sarah Fit TV, Weelicious
Amy Castle, The Healthy Voyager, and The Hot Plate. Be sure to check out
their videos in this playlist too! Let's get started
you're going to need - 1 Bell Pepper, 2 Zucchinis, 2 yellow crooked neck
squashes
1 eggplant
about 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, 2 cups of your favorite tomato sauce
and about a handful of oregano and thyme
first take your ceramics baking dish and fill the bottom with the 2 cups of tomato sauce
then take a little bit of your herbs and sprinkle it at the bottom, followed by
half of your grated cheese and sprinkle it on the bottom too
now would be a great time to preheat your oven to 375º (Fahrenheit)
now take your vegetables and if you have a mandolin, it looks like this,
it's a really great tool for slicing things evenly. I love this tool!
take all of your vegetables and slice them evenly through the mandolin. If you
don't have a mandolin, just slice them by hand
as evenly and possible. Just be sure not to cut yourself. Now take your vegetables and
line them up in your ceramic dish
I like to take each of the vegetables and arrange them like so
I'm layering this in a spiral pattern so that the pops of color from the vegetables really look pretty next
to each other
take the remaining parmesan cheese and sprinkle it on top
then take a few sprigs of your thyme
and put it on top as well. This will look really rustic and beautiful
once you pull it out of the oven. Pop it in the oven
for about thirty to forty five minutes (depending on how firm you like the veggies) until the tomato sauce
at the bottom is bubbling and the vegetables are cooked through
take it out...and you're ready to serve!
