Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
|
Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and place cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Rub with the olive oil and sprinkle liberally with the salt and black pepper.
3
|
Roast the eggplant on middle rack of oven until tender, 27-30 minutes. While eggplant bakes, prepare the dressings.
4
|
Stir together the yogurt, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
5
|
Whisk the tahini, water, lemon juice, cumin, and honey together in a small bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
6
|
Check to see that eggplant is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
7
|
Allow the eggplant to cool slightly. To assemble the salad, spoon yogurt onto a serving plate, then use the back of spoon to spread it into an even layer. Arrange eggplant halves on top. Scatter cherry tomatoes over eggplant. Drizzle the tahini sauce over dish and sprinkle with feta, pine nuts, mint, and hot sauce. Serve immediately.

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.
