Going to the Farmer’s Market in the summertime is always one of my favorite things. Seeing all the fresh fruits and vegetables at their peak just gives me all kinds of creative ideas. On my most recent visit, the fresh squash and eggplant were amazing. This Farmer’s Market one pan Summer Ratatouille is an easy and fantastic way to show off all of the tasty summer produce.
Farmer’s Market One Pan Summer Ratatouille
I can easily get carried away at Farmer’s Markets. Everything looks so good! This weekend I loaded up on yellow and green zucchini squash, eggplant, tomatoes, and fresh basil. I ate most of the tomatoes plain right out of the carton. These summer veggies are so sweet and at peak season so they don’t need much added to them. I opted to do an easy one pan Summer Ratatouille.

This recipe could not be easier. I sliced up the eggplant, yellow and green zucchini into 1/4 inch slices. I alternated them in a roasting pan “Hasselback style” and drizzled them with a little tomato sauce. With a dash of a few spices, they were ready to roast in the oven. Sprinkle on a bit of Parmesan cheese right at the end to finish it off. However, if you are a vegan, just leave it off.
What should I serve it with?
What you end up with is a fantastic Farmer’s Market one Pan Summer Ratatouille dish. Easy, healthy, and very tasty. This can be paired with just about any protein for a delicious side or eaten all by itself. It’s that good. I used the leftovers on top of pasta for a quick and easy Primavera. Any extras would also be great in a frittata or even a quesadilla for lunch. The perfect Meatless Monday idea.
Best of all, it’s easy! Hope you give this Farmer’s Market One Pan Summer Ratatouille a try. Have you hit the Farmer’s Market this summer? Do you grow your own veggies?

I’m not personally an eggplant person but this dish is so easy! Ratatouille always seems like something that’s hard and it’s probably because of the scene in the movie Ratatouille where he’s making it and slicing everything so thin. Ha!
Ha no it’s so very easy! You could certainly leave out the eggplant if that is not your thing. Add in some fresh tomatoes or bell peppers
We came home to lots of zucchini but no eggplant yet. Love this simple dish!
So simple yet so good!
This looks like a great, easy to prepare side dish! I actually have a couple of eggplants I need to use.
Such a simple yet delish way to cook them
I get carried away at the farmers market as well! This looks like a very good way to get carried away!
