Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Eggplant: Wash the eggplant thoroughly and chop it into bite-sized cubes.
- Tomatoes: Remove the stems and chop the tomatoes into quarters.
- Red Onion: Peel the red onion and chop it into roughly equal-sized pieces.
- Garlic: Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped eggplant, tomatoes, and red onion.
- Drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil.
- Sprinkle the Moroccan spice mix over the vegetables.
- Add the minced garlic.
- Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir the vegetables halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
- After 25-30 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Pour the canned tomatoes over the roasted vegetables, mixing gently to combine.
- Place the baking sheet back in the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the roasted eggplant and tomato mixture to a serving dish.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired.
- Serve hot as a side dish or over a bed of rice, couscous, or quinoa for a complete meal.
Tips:
- Salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for about 30 minutes before roasting. This will help draw out excess moisture and reduce bitterness.
- Roast the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking and to achieve a nice caramelization.
- For added depth of flavor, you can sprinkle some fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley over the dish just before serving.
Voila! Your Moroccan-spiced roasted eggplant and tomato is ready to be enjoyed. Serve it hot with your choice of rice, couscous, or a crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. The rich, aromatic spices combined with the roasted vegetables make a truly satisfying and flavorful dish. Bon appétit!
