For an enhanced depth of flavor, consider roasting the eggplant and zucchini before adding them to the pot. This will impart a slightly smoky note to the ratatouille. Adjust the amount of herbes de Provence to your preference. Fresh herbs, such as thyme and rosemary, can also be added for a more vibrant aroma. Ratatouille tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together even further. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve with crusty bread, polenta, or alongside grilled meats or fish.

StepUncover the pot and assess the liquid level. If there appears to be an excessive amount of liquid, continue cooking uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken.
