Ratatouille

There are SO many of Zonya's recipes that I like!! Check them out here. That is where I got this one. It is DELISH! It makes a large batch. I actually used a 9X13 and 8X8 and cooked them both at the same time. It worked perfect. I put chicken in one and no chicken in the other. This is only 233 Calories and 10 g of FIBER per 2 1/4 cups!!! (Without Chicken). Lovin it!

Preheat oven to 350.

In a LARGE bowl combine:
1 sm eggplant unpeeled and cut into 1" cubes
4 sm potatoes, diced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 sm zucchini, cut into 1" pieces
2 lg onions sliced

Put in a 10"X15" baking dish (or in the 9X13 and 8X8)

Note: if you are doing chicken put 4 chicken breasts under veggies on the baking dish.
Then....mix together:
2 tsp minced garlic (4 cloves)
1 tsp dried basil
1 1/2 salt
2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes, no salt added
3T olive oil

Pour over vegetables and toss.
Cover and bake at 350 for 2 hours
When timer rings, pull out of the oven and let sit covered for an additional 30 min.

Serve and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over it. ENJOY!
Baby: You may want to set aside a small amount of the veggies your baby will eat and cook them in a separate pan the same time you cook the rest. It ends up soft enough they should be able to eat anything.

Children: We fed our 2 year old the same thing we had. We just cut it in small enough pieces from the beginning.
