Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant (cut into cubes)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons za'atar
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Tahini Garlic Sauce
- ¼ cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (grated)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch cayenne (optional)
- warm water (to thin)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Scatter eggplant cubes a single layer on baking sheet then drizzle with olive oil, za'atar, salt and pepper. Using hands, toss well to evenly coat eggplant in oil and spices.
- Roast eggplant until golden brown and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes, tossing once halfway through.
- While eggplant is roasting, whisk together the tahini garlic sauce in a small bowl. Continue whisking in warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until you've reached desired consistency. Serve roasted eggplant with tahini sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
Notes
- The secret to creating a brown, caramelized crust is to keep the eggplant in a single layer on the baking dish. If you have a very large eggplant or want to double the recipe, use two baking sheets so that you keep eggplant in a single layer.
