Ratatouille recipe in airfryer (EASY TO DO!)

The ratatouille recipe in French, the healthy and traditional one, we have translated and we have adapted it to be able to cook it in the air fryer.

It is a recipe for ratatouille without mozzarella (although it can be optionally added on top in the last minutes of cooking to gratin).

To prepare the simple ratatouille You don't need an oven, microwave, Thermomix, or frying pan, just an air fryer.

You can also serve this ratatouille recipe in a airfryer for children who do not eat many vegetables, since it is a very visual and beautiful dish.

We remind you that the ratatouille recipe is light, suitable for vegans or vegetarians and perfect for quick light dinners.

The ratatouille can be for one person or for 4 people depending on the quantities, in this case, I think that for 2 people it is very good.

Tips for a good fryer ratatouille recipe without oil

• The aubergines have to be at least 30 minutes to remove the bitter taste but if you leave them for 1 or 2 hours better
• Rinse the aubergines when the time has passed to drain off excess salt.
• Tomato, zucchini and onion I like to cut them finer than eggplant
• Help yourself with the walls of the mold to give it the spiral shape
• If your mold is very large you can put a mini circular mold in the middle with an egg for the last 10 minutes
• Check how the ratatouille goes from time to time (if the vegetables brown soon, lower the temperature to 170 ºC)
• If you want the vegetables more al dente or softer, you will only have to taste them and add or subtract time
