Making Ratatouille can be enjoyable when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prep the Vegetables: Wash and chop all the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add Eggplant: Place the diced eggplant into the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it begins to soften.
4. Incorporate Bell Peppers: Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Add Zucchini: Stir in the sliced zucchini and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Mix in Tomatoes: Add the chopped tomatoes, dried thyme, dried rosemary, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
7. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking.
8. Taste and Adjust: After cooking, taste the Ratatouille and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
9. Garnish: Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

These steps make it easy to create this incredible dish that combines the flavors of summer in every bite.
