INGREDIENTS
2 medium eggplants (2 pounds), cut in half
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Tahini sauce
Lemon juice
Pine Nuts
Pasrley
Sweet paprika for seasoning
HOW-TO
cut each eggplant in half. Score flesh with the tip of a paring knife in a cross-hatch pattern at 1-inch intervals. Transfer to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, cut side up, and brush each eggplant half with 1 tablespoon oil, letting each brushstroke be fully absorbed before brushing with more. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to oven and roast until completely tender and well charred, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven.
Spread a few tablespoons of tahini sauce over each eggplant half and sprinkle with pine nuts. Sprinkle with remaining parsley, drizzle with additional olive oil, salt,pepper and paprika to taste, and serve.
