Delicious Roast Aubergine with Goat's Cheese Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 medium aubergines (sliced in half lengthwise)
  • 200 grams goat's cheese (crumbled)
  • 4 slices flatbread (for toasting)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 lemon juiced (for serving)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Aubergines

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Slice the aubergines in half lengthwise and score the flesh in a crisscross pattern.

    Ensure not to cut through the skin.
  2. Season and Roast

    Drizzle the cut sides of the aubergines with olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper. Place them cut side down on a baking sheet.

    Roasting cut side down helps them caramelize better.
  3. Bake

    Roast the aubergines in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.

    Check for doneness by poking with a fork.
  4. Prepare Flatbreads

    While the aubergines roast, toast the flatbreads in a dry skillet until golden brown on both sides.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  5. Assemble the Dish

    Once the aubergines are done, remove them from the oven and top with crumbled goat's cheese and fresh parsley.

    Serve immediately for the best texture.
