This Vegan Ratatouille Bake is a delicious way to enjoy fresh vegetables. Add vegan parm to zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes for a healthy summer dish.
In the summer, my parents always have an abundance of zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes in their garden. Usually they have so much they have no idea what to do with all of the veggies. If you have a garden, you've probably experienced this - so much produce!!
This vegan ratatouille recipe is the perfect remedy because it uses all those fresh summer vegetables. Bonus if you grow your own herbs, the ratatouille tastes divine with the addition of parsley and basil.

Why I love this Vegan Ratatouille
- Dietary needs - this ratatouille is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, oil-free, and sugar free. Great for all diets!
- Very easy - lots of ratatouille recipes involve meticulous slicing and arranging. This isn't one of those recipes. Just chop up the veggies and toss them into the baking pan - no need to spend hours creating work of art
- Uses fresh summer produce - this is one of those dishes that can be entirely sourced from a summer garden. It still tastes great with store-bought veggies, of course!
- A homemade vegan parmesan - the vegan parm takes this recipe over the top. It's cheesy and salty and delicious
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Eggplant: Look for medium-sized eggplant of any variety from the store. Or grow your own!
- Zucchini / Yellow Squash: I call them all zucchini, but apparently there are about 8 billion names. Green zucchini, yellow zucchini, summer squash, yellow squash... whatever you call it, grab or grow some of your squash of choice.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes are best in the summer. And they are super easy to grow! You can also use larger tomatoes like romas - just cut them into chunks.
- Fresh Basil & Parsley: Fresh herbs add so much more flavor than dried and are very easy to grow at home or find in the store. If you're in a pinch you can sub the dried version of each.
- Garlic: Garlic adds that umami flavor to this dish. And if you're feeling ambitious you could grow that too. Home-grown garlic is delicious!
- Salt & Pepper
- Vegan Parmesan: Traditional ratatouille calls for Parmesan. Vegan parm is SUPER EASY to make. You only need a few ingredients!
