Tips:

You can serve ratatouille as a side dish or as a main course. It is often served with crusty bread, rice, or pasta.
Ratatouille can be made ahead of time and reheated. It tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had a chance to meld together.
Use the freshest vegetables you can find for the best flavor. Look for firm eggplants and squash, and bright, plump tomatoes.
If you want to add a little extra flavor, you can sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the ratatouille before baking.
You can also experiment with different herbs and spices, such as rosemary or cumin, to give your ratatouille a unique twist.

Enjoy your delicious and healthy Ratatouille!
