instructions
    1

    Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    While the oven is heating, wash all your vegetables: eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Carefully dice them into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.

    3

    Next, chop the onion and mince the garlic.

    4

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until they are fragrant and translucent.

    5

    Add the diced eggplant to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.

    6

    Once the eggplant softens, add the diced zucchini and bell pepper. Continue to stir-fry for 5 minutes.

    7

    At this point, chop the vegan sausages into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until they are heated through.

    8

    Now, add your diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, and fresh basil into the mixture. Stir everything together, and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.

    9

    Transfer the vegetable mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly.

    10

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes to meld all the flavors together.

    11

    After 20 minutes, remove the foil and cook for an additional 10 minutes. This will help to caramelize the top slightly.

    12

    Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm with a sprinkle of fresh basil on top.
