Enjoy the flavors of Provence with these ratatouille inspired roasted vegetable wraps filled with a red pepper spread and a medley of oven-roasted eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes. This easy recipe will become a staple for lunch or dinner.
Ratatouille is one of those dishes that always manages to capture the best of late summer and early fall produce. I mean you can’t really go wrong when you’ve got zucchini, eggplant, red peppers and of course tomatoes all perfectly married together in one dish along with liberal amounts of garlic, herbs and olive oil.
This particular version of ratatouille however deviates from the original turning it instead into a tasty vegetable packed wrap.
Yes, I am aware that it is stull unbearably hot but I’m going to ask you to turn on the oven for this one. Now bear with me, I promise it will be worth it.
You could by all means grill the vegetables but roasting them in the oven is even easier. Traditionally ratatouille is made by individually sautéing each ingredient before combining them all together, but I really hate standing over a hot stove for too long this time of year so into the oven they go. Roasting is much simpler, and still delivers all the same wonderful concentrated taste without the extra effort. Here’s what you’ll need to make these roasted vegetable wraps:
Ingredient Notes:
(Here are a few notes about the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe. As always find the full list of ingredients and directions in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.)
- Eggplant – Choose a small eggplant.
- Zucchini – Choose small to medium-sized zucchini as larger ones tend to be spongey and filled with seeds.
- Tomatoes – I like to use cherry tomatoes but you could also use halved Campari tomatoes.
- Olive Oil – Use your favorite extra-virgin olive oil.
- Herbs – We’re using the traditional herbes de Provence to flavor the roasted vegetables along with a pinch of ground coriander
- Garlic – You’ll need some finely grated garlic.
- Red Pepper Spread – We’re using a homemade red pepper spread to layer with the roasted vegetables. You’ll need raw cashews, jarred red peppers, lemon juice, harrisa paste (optional) and extra-virgin olive oil.
- Wraps – I like to use coconut flour or cassava based wraps but feel free to use your favorite wraps.
How to Make Roasted Vegetable Wraps:
(Here are the basic steps and some helpful tips on how to make the recipe. Find the full directions in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.)
- First the vegetables are tossed together with olive oil, garlic and a good pinch of herbes de Provence for loads of Mediterranean flavor. The eggplant and zucchini hit the oven first, the tomatoes come in later (just long enough to burst open but still retain most of their shape).
- Instead of adding the red peppers to the oven we’re making a spicy spread with them to layer into our wraps underneath the other roasted vegetables. This provides an extra layer of flavor without much additional effort since the whole thing is quickly made in the food processor while the vegetables roast. It’s especially easy when you buy your red peppers already roasted and jarred!
- Once the vegetables are out of the oven it’s just a matter of assembly. Gluten-free tortillas are my wrap of choice but feel free to use your favorite here. Layer and roll everything up and you have a terrific lunch or dinner. And since ratatouille is equally delicious cold, you can also roast up a big batch of vegetables on Sunday and have wraps ready to make for the week.

I love making new dishes at home, after going through your recipe I found it more delicious without even making it. Ratatouille is a unique name for a dish. However, I found the post more delicious and I will try to make it in the same manner that you're shared but everyone at home likes a bit spicy so will make changes to the amount rest will be the same. lets try that today. Thanks for sharing it.
