Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make ratatouille from tomatoes, eggplants and zucchini in the oven with cheese? Prepare your food. I didn’t use pepper, but it is always present in the classic recipe. Provençal herbs are well suited as spices; you can take thyme separately. Vegetables should be washed and dried well. Turn on the oven to 200 degrees.

My zucchini is young, so I don’t cut off the skin. Cut them into rings about 5 mm wide.
