This variation transforms the traditional French stew into an effortless sheet pan roast, allowing the vegetables to caramelize deeply rather than just soften. Finished with salty crumbled feta and fresh herbs, it turns a classic side dish into a vibrant, texture-rich meal that requires minimal cleanup.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and smashed garlic cloves.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan so the vegetables roast instead of steam.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the pan briefly, scatter the whole cherry tomatoes over the vegetables, and toss gently.
Return to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the edges are caramelized.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the hot vegetables.
Garnish with torn fresh basil leaves before serving warm.
