Roasted Ratatouille with Basil

Eggplant is underappreciated, probably because it’s often prepared poorly. It’s really very easy to master, and preparing it is a snap. Roasting cubed eggplant with a medley of other vegetables ensures it will be cooked to melting tenderness and absorb the flavors around it. Ratatouille is a classic part of the healthful Mediterranean diet and can be enjoyed on its own, over toast or pasta, and even on pizza.
