Notes
Top Tips For Making Vegan Ratatouille
- Prep and chop the vegetables ahead of time to save you time the day you make the recipe.
- You can make it your own by adding in extra vegetables or omitting the ones that you don’t like. Use what you have in your fridge. This can be a kitchen sink type of recipe!
- For best results, use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs. You will get a lot more robust flavor from fresh herbs.
- To switch things up, try roasting the veggies first before tossing with the broth and other ingredients.
- Don't forget to season to taste with salt and pepper!!
