Healthy Roasted Eggplant
This healthy roasted eggplant recipe is a great little appetizer to serve with pita chips, naan bread or pita bread. You start by chopping the eggplant. I don’t mind the skin but if you prefer, you can peel the eggplant but keep in mind that the skin gives this appetizer a bit of texture.
Then whisk all of the ingredients in a bowl, pour the mixture into a food storage bag, add the eggplant and shack well. Roast the eggplant on a backing sheet for 30 to 40 minuets.
This healthy roasted eggplant will serve 4 as an appetizer with pita chips, naan bread or pita bread.
