Sheetpan Ratatouille
Ingredients
- 1 large onion halved and thinly sliced
- 1 3/4 lbs zucchini cut into 1/4 inch slices (approx 7 cups)
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil more for serving
- 6 thyme sprigs
- 4 rosemary sprigs
- 6 cloves garlic smashed and peeled
- fine sea salt to taste
- 2 lbs eggplant cut into 1 inch cubes (approx 10 cups)
- 2 medium red bell peppers sliced into 1/2-1 inch slices (approx 3 cups)
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes
- 8 oz goat cheese crumbled
- 3/4 cup castelvetrano or other high quality olives crushed, pitted, and torn into pieces
- 1/2 cup basil leaves sliced
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees, and arrange two racks in the top and bottom thirds.
- On one rimmed 13-by-17-inch sheet pan, toss together onion slices, zucchini, ¼ cup oil, 3 thyme springs, 2 rosemary sprigs, 3 garlic cloves and ½ teaspoon salt.
- On a second rimmed baking sheet, toss together eggplant, red peppers, ¼ cup oil, 3 thyme sprigs, 2 rosemary sprig, 3 garlic cloves and ¾ teaspoon salt.
- Place one tray on the top rack, and a second on the bottom rack of the oven. Roast both for 40 minutes, stirring vegetables two or three times.
- Add tomatoes to the baking sheet with eggplant and peppers, then continue to roast until the tomatoes burst and the zucchini turn deeply golden brown, another 20 to 25 minutes. The vegetables will become very caramelized, and that’s a good thing, particularly with the zucchini and onions.
- Transfer zucchini and onions to the baking sheet with eggplant, mix well, and spread in an even layer (it will just fit). Drizzle vegetables with another 1 tablespoon oil, then sprinkle goat cheese and olives over the top. Roast until goat cheese is soft and warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer vegetables to a serving platter, drizzle with a little more oil and squeeze juice from the one of the lemon wedges over the top. Garnish with basil leaves. Serve hot or warm, with more lemon wedges on the side.
