One Pot Chicken Ratatouille Recipe – the easy version of a classic French dish. Zucchini, eggplant and tomatoes cooked in one pot with seasoned chicken for a healthy, flavorful and comforting fall dish.

One pot dinners made with seasonal vegetables are some of the easiest to make. You can whip up a delicious dish in just one pan, starting by cooking the meat (like chicken), adding seasoning and the vegetables. This is a great way to enjoy eggplant, zucchini, and ripe juicy tomatoes. Skip the chicken for a vegetarian version. Add chickpeas or black beans for protein, if desired.

This One Pot Chicken Ratatouille is a filling comfort food, perfect for chilly fall days. Serve it with rice, mashed potatoes or just like a chili or stew, in a bowl. And don’t forget the bread! It’s perfect for soaking up every last bit of the sauce!

Baked Eggplant Parmesan Recipe – no mess, no fuss eggplant Parmesan with crispy garlic Parmesan breaded eggplant baked in the oven, not fried.

I already shared my favorite way to make eggplant in my Garlic Parmesan Baked Eggplant recipe. It’s super easy and the final result is a crispy and flavorful appetizer or side dish. It’s exactly what I use to make my Eggplant Parmesan. I try to avoid frying breaded vegetables, just leave it for chicken or pork schnitzel. Breaded veggies are perfect when baked in the oven.

This Baked Eggplant Parmesan is an easy vegetarian dish for meatless Monday or when you want something meat-free, yet delicious and easy to make. Baking the breaded eggplant in the oven makes this version a no-mess and no-fuss dish. It’s super tasty too! You are also reducing calories by half, since on average fried eggplant Parmesan is around 850 calories and this baked version has about 480 calories per serving.

Garlic Parmesan Baked Eggplant Recipe – crispy baked, not fried, eggplant with garlic Parmesan breading. A delicious way to enjoy this fall vegetable!

Eggplant is in season and I am going to show you one of my favorite dishes with this vegetable. It’s easy and can be served as an appetizer, side dish or used in main dishes, like Eggplant Parmesan. The garlicky Parmesan breading makes for a perfectly crispy coating even though the eggplant is baked and not fried.

If I am not roasting vegetables, I make my simple two-ingredient breading and bake them in the oven till crispy. No frying required! I used this method in my Baked Artichoke Hearts recipe and my Best Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower recipe. It’s amazing!
