5. Drizzle béchamel sauce on top and swirl into the tomato sauce.

6. Layer sliced vegetables on top in a spiral pattern. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt, thyme, and black pepper on top. Cover with parchment paper.

7. Transfer baking dish to grill and bake at 375°F for 55-60 minutes or until all vegetables are tender and tomato sauce is bubbling on the sides. Remove from grill and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Serve ratatouille with crusty bread to scoop up the sauce, if desired. Enjoy!

Note: To same time in making spiral layers, pick slices of each vegetable and make a small stack, then place into the baking dish.
