Inspired my Middle Eastern flavors, this roasted eggplant is topped with toasted walnuts, sliced shallots, goat cheese, tahini sauce, fresh parsley, and chili flakes. This was SO GOOD and I can’t wait to create and share more eggplant recipes.


Serve this dish as a main meal or as an appetizer. The toppings in this recipe can be altered to your preference or you may use whatever you have on hand.


Fun fact - Did you know that eggplants are actually considered to be a fruit? More specifically, a berry! They're also full of antioxidants and so delicious.
