Recipe Inspiration<\/h2>\n

This recipe draws inspiration from both French and Italian cuisines. Ratatouille<\/a> is a classic French dish with onion, garlic, tomato, zucchini, eggplant, bell pepper, and leafy herbs. <\/p>\n

The Italian inspiration comes from the additions of Crispy Italian Herb Baked Tofu<\/a> and Creamy Pesto Sauce<\/a>. Neither dish is classically Italian\u2014instead, they draw inspiration in terms of flavor and concept.<\/p>\n

How to Make Sheet Pan Ratatouille<\/h2>\n

While ratatouille is traditionally made on the stovetop, this recipe goes in a different direction with the use of a sheet pan. Not only is it quick, easy, and hands-off<\/strong>, but roasting the vegetables creates caramelized edges<\/strong> and enhances their sweetness.<\/p>\n

For the vegetables, we use classic ratatouille ingredients including zucchini, eggplant, onion, and bell pepper. They\u2019re seasoned simply with salt, dried Italian herbs, and olive oil.<\/p>\n

Another bonus of SHEET PAN ratatouille? You can bake tofu at the same time<\/strong>! Because no one wants to use the stove and<\/em> the oven in the middle of summer.<\/p>\n

\"Placing<\/figure>\n

Tomatoes get added to the veggies halfway through the baking time, allowing them to contribute a little sauciness to the mix. While everything is in the oven, we recommend making our Creamy Pesto Sauce<\/a> to enhance it all and bring the dish together!<\/p>\n
