Prepare the Vegetables
Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Cut the eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion into small cubes. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the tomatoes.

Sauté the Onions and Garlic
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the cubed eggplant to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant begins to soften.

Add Remaining Vegetables
Stir in the zucchini, bell pepper, and chopped tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried herbs (like thyme or basil). Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all vegetables are tender.

Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the ratatouille simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
