Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Slice the eggplant lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly charred.
While the eggplant is roasting, slice the melon into thin wedges, removing the rind and seeds. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and finely minced garlic to make a creamy yogurt sauce. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
Wash and roughly chop the fresh mint and parsley leaves.
Warm the flatbreads in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
To assemble, spread a generous layer of yogurt sauce over each warm flatbread. Lay 2-3 slices of roasted eggplant and a few melon slices on top. Sprinkle with the fresh herbs.
Roll the flatbreads tightly into wraps. Slice in half for easier handling, if desired, and serve immediately.
