1

Roast the peppers

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are slightly softened.

Prepare the ratatouille filling

While the peppers are roasting, let's prepare the flavorful ratatouille filling. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant. Next, add diced eggplant, zucchini, and yellow squash to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender. Stir in diced tomatoes, fresh basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the flavors meld together beautifully.

Stuff the peppers

Once the peppers are out of the oven and the ratatouille filling is ready, it's time to stuff those beauties! Grab a spoon and carefully scoop the ratatouille filling into each roasted pepper, generously filling each one. Don't hold back!

Bake and enjoy

Place the stuffed peppers back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are heated through and the filling is slightly bubbly. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve your ratatouille stuffed peppers as a delightful appetizer or a flavorful main course. Bon appétit!
