Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice the 2 eggplants into 1/2-inch rounds. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and let sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Brush both sides of eggplant slices with 2 tbsp olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until golden and tender when pierced with a fork.

  3. Step 3

    While eggplant roasts, mix 1 cup yogurt, 2 minced garlic cloves, and remaining 1/2 tsp salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Dice the 1 tomato and chop the parsley and dill. In a small bowl, toss tomato with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  5. Step 5

    Spread the yogurt sauce on a serving platter. Arrange roasted eggplant slices on top, then spoon the tomato mixture over. Sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve warm or at room temperature.
