Gluten Free Ratatouille without the little chef!

Gluten free ratatouille is a delicious side dish and every time I make it, it reminds me of the movie Ratatouille!

I don’t have a little mouse under my hat, but I did love that movie!  I also love the comforting veggie dish with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese!  Ratatouille is colorful and tasty.  This dish is quick to assemble so if you are in a hurry for a side dish this is a winner!   If you are not eating dairy, you can leave off the cheese and it is delightful and diary free.  This makes a great side dish to serve with any kind of protein.  Slice, bake and voila!  It’s ready to eat.

The movie with the little chef describe it as a peasant dish but it doesn’t feel peasantly!  Warm, comforting and delicious.  I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
