I first tasted roasted eggplant when I was traveling in another country and thought it was fabulous! I took notes on the different flavors because I wanted to create it once I got home. I even took photos of the beautiful presentation. After several attempts and the help of many taste-testers who were on the trip with me, I finally nailed it! It’s really a very simple recipe that is delicious with an exquisite presentation! Enjoy!
