WW Recipe of the Day: Easy Grilled Ratatouille Skewers
Ratatouille is a staple in most Provencal kitchens. During the summer, our whole French village smells like it for about a month.
There are as many recipes for ratatouille as there are cooks to make them including this easy one for the stove top and my favorite one for the slow cooker.
This easy variation turns the common stewed vegetable dish into a user-friendly appetizer that can be eaten standing up, instead of from a bowl with a spoon.
Vegans, vegetarians and home gardeners will find these skewers a really good choice for summer parties.
Any style of eggplant will work. I used the classic globe size, although it would be fine with the long Asian variety.
One larger pepper can be used instead of the mini ones I suggest. The little peppers can be threaded whole without seeding or stemming them, which saves a little time.

How to Make Grilled Ratatouille Skewers Step-by-Step
Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients.
Step 2: Divide the eggplant, zucchini, peppers and tomatoes between 6 skewers.

Whisk in the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Lightly brush the skewers with the vinaigrette.
Step 5: Heat a BBQ grill and cook the skewers until all of the veggies are browned and the eggplant is soft.
Step 6: Brush any remaining vinaigrette over the skewers and serve hot, or at room temperature.
Recipe Notes
This recipe uses most of the traditional ratatouille veggies—eggplant, zucchini, peppers and tomatoes. You can add squares of raw, sweet onion or large whole spring garlic cloves to round out the skewers if you like.
Pre-shredded sundried tomatoes are the way to go for easy cooking. Buy the ones that are just dried and packaged without additional oil.
Instead of serving olives alongside the skewer, try popping an olive on the end of the stick either before or after grilling.
Serving Suggestions
In keeping with the southern French theme, I usually served a plate of soft goat cheese, tapenade or olives alongside the skewers as part of an appetizer buffet.
Ways to Use Leftover Ratatouille Skewers
Leftover grilled veggies can be removed from the skewers and tossed into a soup, salad or added to a crockpot stew.
