Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplant
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Cumin
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the eggplants and cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Lay the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Sprinkle the eggplant slices with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Roast the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
While the eggplant is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a bowl, combine 0.5 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water, minced garlic cloves, 0.25 teaspoon cumin, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Whisk the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more water, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Once the eggplants are roasted, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Arrange the eggplant slices on a serving platter and drizzle with the tahini sauce.
Garnish the eggplant with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of paprika.
Serve the dish warm or at room temperature.
