Review of Ratatouille Bites - Trader Joe's by beckyyy

Was excited to try this creative new appetizer from Trader Joe’s. These bites contain eggplant, bell pepper and zucchini and are covered in panko breadcrumbs.

I followed the oven instructions to prepare, but needed to bake for an additional few minutes in order to get crunchy.

I really like the vegetables in these bites so they were enjoyable to me but I’m not sure I’d elect to serve these at an event. I think if folks saw these without knowing what they were they’d be pretty surprised that there are soft vegetables (well, fruits) inside.

I like that you can really taste the filling; it doesn’t get lost like some “fried” foods.
They paired well with a garlic aioli. I’d recommend having a sauce available though if you really like the filling you may not find it necessary.

I like the creativity here and I think these are tasty, but they didn’t blow me away.
