Time 28m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (may to need to add more as the veggies cook)
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
1 medium orange bell pepper, diced
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 medium yellow squash, diced
1/2 medium eggplant, diced (I used a bit less and left the eggplant unpeeled, but you could peel it if desired)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
45 frozen miniature phyllo cups

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, cook for 2 minutes. Add yellow and orange bell peppers and cook for another 2 minutes. Add zucchini, yellow squash and eggplant and cook for 2 more minutes. Add garlic, tomato, salt and pepper and cook for about 1 minute.
Note: I like to continue cooking all the veggies for several more minutes. It's a personal thing, I like my ratatoullie veggies really soft and like letting the flavors meld together.
Note: You may need to add some additional olive oil as you add more veggies. This depends on the size of your veggies and your personal preference. I usually do add a tablespoon or two more as I cook out the veggies.
To make into an appetizer:.
Spoon ratatouille into the mini phyllo cups and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 8 minutes, or until heated through.
Note: you could also choose to fist put in a bit of boursin cheese into the phyllo tart first, then add the ratatouille on top and bake as directed.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 winter squash, such as acorn, carnival or delicata, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
6 baby waxy potatoes, such as new or blue, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 sweet potato, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Toss the squash and potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil, salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking pan and roast, stirring once or twice, until tender and golden brown in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, rosemary and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and roasted vegetables and simmer until slightly thickened and the flavors have blended, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
