Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant. Look for eggplants that are firm and heavy for their size. Avoid eggplants that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the eggplant properly. Roasting the eggplant brings out its natural sweetness and smoky flavor. To roast the eggplant, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the eggplant with olive oil and season it with salt and pepper. Place the eggplant cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast it for 30-40 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly charred.
  • Make the sandwich spread. While the eggplant is roasting, you can make the sandwich spread. In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted eggplant, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and cumin. Season the spread with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the sandwiches. Once the eggplant is roasted and the spread is made, you can assemble the sandwiches. Spread the eggplant spread on the bread slices. Top the spread with the eggplant slices, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sprouts. Drizzle the sandwiches with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

Roasted eggplant sandwiches are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy eggplant. They are perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The sandwiches are also easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you have an eggplant, don't be afraid to try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!
