This recipe was a bit disappointing. The eggplant was bland and the spread lacked flavor.

I found that the spread was a little too oily for my taste. I would recommend draining the eggplant more thoroughly before roasting it.

This spread is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
