Eggplant is my least favorite vegetable. 99% of the time I will not eat it and would rather leave it out of recipes. Ratatouille typically features eggplant, but I like it much better without it. Hence why this chickpea ratatouille is sans eggplant. We are reaching the end of summer and I am so sad about it but this Vegan Chickpea Ratatouille Without Eggplant is a great way to use up the rest of the summer produce.
This chickpea ratatouille is a super easy ratatouille recipe. All you need is one pot and less than 15 ingredients. Chickpeas are not typically included in ratatouille but I added them in for extra plant protein. This recipe makes a few servings so it would also be a great meal prep option.
To make this ratatouille you're simply going to stew your veggies in tomato sauce on the stove top. Aromatics like basil, parsley and garlic add great flavor to this. This meal does not need any sides except for some toasted bread with coconut or vegan butter.
