Whether you’re looking to try your hand at French cuisine or are just in the market for a recipe that’s perfect for summer, ratatouille is an unmissable dish. The classic Provençal stew is fairly simple—an easy dish for folks who want to ease into the art of French cooking—and its medley of fresh, tender veggies and fragrant herbs is a great way to enjoy summer produce.
Joy Bauer Just Shared Her Heart-Healthy Corn Salsa, and It’s Only 5 Ingredients
Sedgwick, who made ratatouille on an Instagram reel, acknowledges that her recipe isn’t for purists—after all, she can’t resist adding in delicious ingredients like a spicy jalapeño and a handful of deliciously briny olives—but it’s still pretty tasty. Just take it from her taste-tester and husband, Kevin Bacon, who chimed in to say the dish “was amazing.”
Here’s what you’ll need to replicate Sedgwick’s spicy ratatouille:
Mix the seasoned veggies together, then toss in the cherry tomatoes and olives and stir again. Spread the veggies on a sheet pan coated with olive oil and bake at 350°F for an hour. When the veggies are done, remove the pan from the oven and top it with your fresh herbs. Dish it up into your favorite bowls and get ready for a simple, flavorful dish with a little extra heat.
If you want to add a little more protein to your ratatouille, you could always add some dollops of goat cheese to your pan, like we do in oursheet-pan recipe. You could even make someCrunchy Roasted Chickpeasto toss in with your veggies, or pair a side of the ratatouille with a classic main dish, like ourLemony-Garlic Pan-Seared Salmon. A simple side of grains, like ourBasic Quinoa, would also make a great pairing with your roasted veggies.
Of course, any combination of your favorite summer veggies is bound to be pretty delicious—and there are plenty of health benefits to reap, too. The zucchini in this recipe, for example, isrich with carotenoids, which can support your bone, eye and heart health. Tomatoes, too, canbenefit your heart, skin and digestive health, since they contain fiber, carotenoids and lots of antioxidants. Even the bell peppers in this recipe containheaps of those helpful carotenoidsthat can help you take care of your brain, eye and digestive health.
