Step 1
Halve the eggplant lengthwise. Score the flesh in a crosshatch pattern, then brush all sides with oil and salt.
Step 2
Roast eggplant cut-side down on a sheet pan at 425°F until flesh is tender and golden, about 12 minutes.
Step 3
While eggplant roasts, toss chickpeas with cumin, coriander, 1 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper until coated and fragrant.
Step 4
Flip eggplant halves cut-side up. Mound chickpea mixture into each cavity, pressing gently to pack.
Step 5
Roast 3 more minutes until chickpeas warm through and eggplant edges darken slightly.
Step 6
Drizzle tahini mixed with lemon juice over each half. Scatter fresh herbs and a pinch of salt on top. Serve hot.
