Roasted Eggplant with Feta & Mint Sauce
Report
When a reader calls a recipe "unbelievably delicious," you know it’s a keeper! This roasted eggplant with feta and mint sauce is rich, caramelized, and bursting with herby goodness. Best part? It’s fancy enough for a dinner party but easy enough for a lazy weeknight—just 15 minutes of hands-on prep!

Ingredients
Eggplant
- 1 eggplant
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
- ¼ cup feta cheese 30 g
Mint Sauce
- 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
- 1 tsp lemon juice 5 mL
- 2 Tbsp finally chopped fresh mint
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Pinch each of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Cut: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Cut the eggplant in half, lengthwise. Score the eggplant, cutting slits into just the flesh (not the skin), making about 5 cuts diagonally across the eggplant. Make another set of diagonal cuts to create a cross-hatch pattern. Brush with 1 Tbsp olive oil.
- Bake: Place the scored eggplant cut side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Carefully flip the eggplants to be cut side up, then return to the oven and cook for 10 more minutes.
- Sauce: Meanwhile, combine all Sauce ingredients.
- Serve: When eggplant has finished cooking, transfer to a serving plate. Top with mint sauce and crumbled feta cheese.
Notes
- Storage: If you have leftover eggplant, you can store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you can, I recommend storing the feta and mint sauce separately, but it’s not totally necessary. When ready to reheat, simply reheat in the oven (it will help retain the crispy texture better) or microwave until heated through.
