Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 medium aubergines (sliced lengthwise)
  • 200 grams goat's cheese (crumbled)
  • 4 pieces flatbreads (or pita bread)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for drizzling)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the oven

    Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) and let it preheat.

    Use a baking tray lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the aubergines

    Slice the aubergines lengthwise and drizzle with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

    Allow them to sit for about 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
  3. Roast the aubergines

    Place the seasoned aubergine slices on a baking tray and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and golden.

    Turn them halfway through for even cooking.
  4. Toast the flatbreads

    While the aubergines are roasting, toast the flatbreads in a dry pan until golden and warm.

    Wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm after toasting.
  5. Assemble and serve

    Top the roasted aubergines with crumbled goat's cheese, drizzle with lemon juice, and garnish with parsley. Serve with toasted flatbreads.
