Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggplant
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the eggplants and cut them into 1-inch thick rounds.
Lay the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the eggplant slices and sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use your hands to ensure even coating.
Roast the eggplants in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they are golden brown and tender.
While the eggplants are roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and water. Crush the garlic clove and add it to the sauce. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Taste the sauce and adjust with more lemon juice or salt if necessary.
Once the eggplants are done, remove them from the oven and arrange them on a serving dish.
Drizzle the tahini sauce generously over the roasted eggplants.
Garnish with fresh parsley and pomegranate seeds for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
