Ratatouille Spread: Perfect for Crackers, Rice, and Vegetable Pasta”

Instructions

1. Instructions:

   Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (392°F) to save on preparation time.

   Prepare the Vegetables: Wash all the vegetables. Slice the tomatoes, paprika (bell peppers), zucchini, eggplant, onion, and garlic into manageable pieces.

   Arrange and Season: Lay the sliced vegetables on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Generously drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, ensuring they're well-coated. Season with your choice of spices.

   Roast: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for about 45 minutes or until they achieve a caramelized texture.

   Blend: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a food blender. Pulse lightly, ensuring you don't over-blend. The goal is to have a chunky spread where you can still identify and feel pieces of the vegetables.

   Serve: This roasted vegetable spread is versatile. Use it as a topping for crackers, or as a side with rice or vegetable pasta.

   Enjoy your flavorful, homemade vegetable spread!
