Roasted Ratatouille
Roasted Ratatouille (rat-tuh-TOO-ee) is based on the classic late-summer vegetable stew featuring eggplant, zucchini and red bell peppers. Our version uses scallion greens instead of onions and uses the oven to roast the vegetables with olive oil, which concentrates the vegetable’s flavors. Then the veggies are combined with fresh tomatoes on top of the stove and cooked until soft, silky and rich. Flavored with thyme, rosemary and low FODMAP garlic, this vegan dish is incredibly versatile. Get the recipe for Ratatouille.
Skillet Lasagna
Lasagna made in a skillet? You bet, with all the classic flavors. Lasagna is a standby when we want to feed a crowd, but it takes time. It is not a weeknight dish.

Here we combine all of the ingredients that you love in a classic lasagna but use techniques to get it on the table fast – about 35 minutes! This recipe features ground turkey, to lighten it up a bit, and chopped carrots, zucchini and green bell pepper for nutrition, color and crunch. Get the recipe for Skillet Lasagna.
