Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sized eggplants
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium garlic clove
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp tahini
  • 3/4 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F) and position the rack in the middle.
  • Peel the eggplants and slice them into rounds approximately 2-3cm (1 inch) thick.
  • In a large bowl, toss the eggplant slices with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
  • Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, arrange the eggplant slices on the rack in a single layer, avoiding any overlap.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and lightly golden.
  • While the eggplant is baking, finely mince a garlic clove. Alternatively, use a garlic press or mortar and pestle.
  • When the eggplant is done, combine it with the minced garlic on a cutting board. Chop both ingredients together until they form a fine mixture.
  • Transfer the eggplant-garlic mixture to a bowl. Add lemon juice, tahini, and salt, then mix thoroughly to combine.
  • If you feel like the mixture is too dry, feel free to add water.
  • To serve, drizzle with olive oil and garnish with chopped parsley and pomegranate seeds.
