Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut eggplants in half lengthwise. Scoop out flesh, leaving a thin shell. Chop the flesh into small cubes.

  2. Step 2

    Arrange eggplant halves cut-side up on a sheet pan. Brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Roast at 400°F for 8 minutes while you mix couscous, chopped eggplant flesh, tomatoes, feta, olives, and herbs in a bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Remove eggplant shells from oven. Spoon filling into each half, pressing gently to pack.

  5. Step 5

    Roast stuffed eggplant 8–10 minutes more until shells are very tender and filling is warm.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle with olive oil. Serve hot or at room temperature.
