How to make ratatouille

2. Add the herbs, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper, then mix thoroughly to coat.
3. Arrange the vegetables evenly in a baking dish.
4. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 30 minutes.
5. Crumble the goat cheese into small pieces.
6. Remove the foil and sprinkle the goat cheese over the vegetables.

Ratatouille is not one of the most photogenic dishes. But that is not to say it isn’t delicious. With more than its fair share of vegetables, is a versatile dish that can be served as a sidedish or a main.

It is a classic French recipe with a topping of delectable goat cheese to give it that extra little kick. And it’s one of the easiest one-dish meals you can make. Just chop everything up, add a few spices and pop it in the oven. What could be easier!?

What to serve with it?

Ratatouille with goat cheese goes well with just some bread (a baguette) and or a salad with bacon, goat cheese, and creamy garlic dressing.

You can also serve it homemade white pizza with zucchini or a bacon and mushroom quiche.

How to store it?

The zucchinis will retain water, so I don’t recommend preparing this ratatouille with goat cheese too much in advance. You can keep it overnight in the fridge, but that is about the extent of it. Pop it back in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 380°F (190°C) to heat it back up.
