Produce Box Dinner - Ratatouille using Zucchini, Tomato, Eggplant, Sweet Potato and Lentils



Heat oven to 400

1.  Sweet Potato
Wash a large sweet potato and pierce it with a knife several times
Microwave until it is soft (I use the "potato" setting on my microwave)
When finished, let it cool, then slip off the skin
Puree the cooked sweet potato flesh with some water in a food processor (I use the Ninja)
Set aside

2.  Veggies

In a large roasting pan, toss the following with a few TBSP Olive Oil

2 Zucchini, cut into chunks
3 Small Eggplant, cut into chunks
2 Tomatoes, diced (or 1 can diced tomatoes)
1/2 Onion, diced
2 TBSP chopped Garlic
1 Jar Pasta Sauce

Bake for approx. 40 min., stirring every 20 to prevent burning


3.  Combine Ingredients

Stir sweet potato puree into the oven roasted veggies, then add a can of drained lentils
Stir and serve over your favorite pasta (I used Penne)

We also made a side salad using the cucumber and tomato from our Produce Box, with some chopped kale as the bed
