Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 425°F. Halve the eggplant lengthwise, scoop out soft flesh leaving a thin shell, and chop the flesh coarsely.

  2. Step 2

    Toss brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper; spread on a sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    While sprouts roast, sauté onion in 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high until golden and soft, about 6 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in garlic and chopped eggplant flesh; cook 2 minutes until fragrant, then add crushed tomato, salt, and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Remove sheet pan from oven. Brush eggplant halves with 1 tbsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and fill with tomato mixture.

  6. Step 6

    Return to oven for 8 minutes until eggplant is tender and brussels sprouts are crispy. Serve warm.
