Air Fryer Easy Ratatouille Recipe
Description
Creating ratatouille in an air fryer simplifies this classic French vegetable dish, allowing for a quicker cooking process while still preserving the vibrant flavors and textures of the fresh ingredients. Here’s an easy air fryer ratatouille recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 small eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 small zucchinis, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 bell pepper, any color, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Prep the Vegetables: Toss the eggplant, zucchinis, bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes with olive oil, dried thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until all the pieces are well coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating helps cook the vegetables evenly.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the seasoned vegetables in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which ensures that each piece cooks perfectly.
- Cook: Air fry the vegetables for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even cooking.
- Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the ratatouille from the air fryer. Adjust seasoning if necessary, and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
