Sheet Pan Ratatouille

WANT TO SAVE THIS RECIPE?

Sheet Pan Ratatouille is the answer to anyone craving a comforting, veggie-packed dinner without the fuss. This colorful medley of zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and tomatoes roasts to perfection, delivering deep, caramelized flavors in every bite. It’s rustic, incredibly healthy, and visually stunning enough for guests yet simple enough for a weeknight meal.

Unlike traditional ratatouille which simmers everything together in a pot, this version lets each vegetable shine. The oven does most of the work, concentrating the flavors and adding a touch of char that brings out the natural sweetness of the veggies. Plus, cleanup is a breeze since everything roasts on one pan.

What Kind of Vegetables Should I Use?

While the core of ratatouille typically includes eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes, feel free to riff based on what’s in season. Yellow squash, red onion, and even mushrooms are excellent additions. Go for firm, fresh produce for the best texture.

How To Make the Sheet Pan Ratatouille

Step 1: Prep Your Vegetables

Wash and chop all your veggies so they’re roughly the same size. This ensures even roasting. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole so they blister nicely.

Step 2: Season and Toss

On a large sheet pan, combine all the vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with oregano, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything well to coat evenly.

Step 3: Roast to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the vegetables in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the veggies are tender and starting to brown.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

Once roasted, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm or at room temperature.
