INGREDIENTS
1 cup sliced Zucchini (124g)
1 cup diced Eggplant (99g)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (119g)
1 medium Tomato (123g)
1 small Onion (70g)
3 cloves Garlic (9g)
0.75 cup cooked Chickpeas (123g)
200g Firm Tofu
0.5 tablespoon Olive Oil (7g)
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil, chopped
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme, chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Prepare all vegetables by slicing the zucchini, dicing the eggplant, and cutting the red bell pepper, tomato, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
Place the zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper, tomato, and onion in a large bowl. Add the minced garlic along with chopped fresh basil and thyme. Drizzle with 0.5 tablespoon olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetable mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the vegetables are roasting, drain and rinse the chickpeas if using canned. Cut the firm tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Once the vegetables are roasted and tender, transfer them to a serving dish. Gently fold in the chickpeas and tofu cubes. The residual heat will warm the additions without overcooking them.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or herbs as desired. Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed twist on a classic ratatouille!
