Ready to get cooking? Here are all of the best Tips & Tricks for my Best Ratatouille Recipe:
Tips & Tricks for this Easy Ratatouille Recipe
1. Which ingredients can be replaced in this vegan ratatouille recipe?
This dish is so versatile and allows you to experiment with so many veggies. Feel free to add or replace the vegetables in the recipe with any of your favorites like:
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Summer squash
Butternut squash
Potatoes (it's best to boil them first because they take a bit longer to cook)
Brussels sprouts
Mushrooms
You can replace the plum tomatoes with diced tomatoes or even with marinara or pizza sauce if you like.
For a healthy vegan protein addition, stir in a can of rinsed and drained chickpeas or another favorite bean. Add the beans when you stir everything together and cook according to the recipe instructions to allow the flavors to meld.
If you're not vegan or vegetarian, then you can add shredded parmesan, goat cheese, or pecorino on top. It brings some great cheesy flavors to the dish.
2. How to make ratatouille with chicken?
I love the addition of chicken to ratatouille. It turns this easy recipe into a full meal that's even more satisfying and filling. For chicken ratatouille, use boneless skinless chicken thighs or breast and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Start the recipe by searing the chicken until golden, and set aside on a plate. Then follow the recipe as written and return the seared chicken to the pot with the fried veggies.
3. How to make this easy ratatouille recipe with other protein
You could also add turkey or beef just as you would add the chicken.
In fact, if you have leftover cooked turkey or chicken, ratatouille is a great way to transform it into a new meal. Shred or chop the meat and add it to the pot with the fried veggies. There's no need to sear the meat since it's already cooked.
Last but not least, my favorite protein addition to this easy ratatouille recipe is shrimp or fish. It transforms the dish into an amazing Mediterranean pot! Use raw peeled and deveined shrimp or fish fillet chunks. Simply add them when the ratatouille has about 10-12 minutes left to cook. Seafood cooks very quickly when added to the simmering sauce.
4. How to make this vegan ratatouille with pasta?
Pasta works so great with ratatouille! Cook the pasta separately according to package instructions. Once cooked, reserve about 1/4-1/3 cup of the pasta water and drain the noodles.
When the ratatouille is done, add the cooked pasta to the pot with the reserved pasta water. Adding the pasta water will make the tomato sauce adhere better to the pasta noodles.
5. How to cut veggies for this recipe
The key to perfectly cooked easy ratatouille is cutting the vegetables evenly.
How you cut them depends on your preferences, however. Some people love the veggies chopped into smaller pieces. Others prefer large chunks. However you like your veggies, just be sure they're all about the same size and shape.
If you like smaller chopped veggies, reduce the cooking time from 30min to about 20 min. It's good to have a bit of a crunch in each bite, and it's always best to not overcook your veggies.

#EasyRatatouilleRecipe - Jak na to + styl
I like how she just throws it all in but you get so many of these youtube cooks that try and make thing look fancy that aren't supposed to be fancy
I agree and also disagree.
Culinary is art. You eat with your eyes before you eat with your stomach.
So making even something like this look fancy is simply selling the item to someone including yourself and maybe even children.
I don't make mine fancy though. I make mine like she does in the video 🥰
@@joshshin6819 no its like when so many CZcams cooks trying an make something look fancy fish an chips for an example an they put weird chit in the batter, or when Ramsey made a "grilled" cheese tried to make it fancy and it was terrible.
If I ordered fish an chips, steak then that's what I'd expect to get not to have loads of extra crap thrown in.
blame the rat 😅🤣. So many people on youtube are doing the same exact presentation as the pixar version
@@joshshin6819 I agree with you
I made this with herbed seasoned potatoes on the side and avocado and it was so delicious thank you
