Roast the eggplant on middle rack of oven until tender, 27-30 minutes. While eggplant bakes, prepare the dressings.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Eggplant Moisture Magic 💦
    Salt eggplant slices and let them sit for 30 minutes before roasting to draw out excess moisture and prevent a soggy texture.
  • Tahini Sauce Perfection 🥄
    Whisk tahini sauce gradually with cold water to prevent separation and achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
  • Roasting Technique Mastery 🔥
    Cut eggplant into even halves and score the flesh in a diamond pattern to help it absorb olive oil and develop a rich, caramelized surface.
  • Pine Nut Toasting Trick 🥜
    Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes, constantly stirring to prevent burning and enhance their nutty flavor.
  • Herb Freshness Hack 🌿
    Chop mint leaves just before serving to maintain their vibrant color and release maximum aromatic oils.
