Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup olive oil plus additional for serving, optional
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 medium zucchini chopped
  • 1 red onion peeled and chopped
  • Fresh basil or parsley chopped, for optional garnish

  • Roast in the preheated oven for 30–40 minutes, stirring gently halfway through, until the vegetables are soft, caramelized, and lightly browned at the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For extra flavor, drizzle with a little more olive oil or add chopped fresh basil or parsley.
  • Let the ratatouille rest for 3-5 minutes before serving warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
