Ingredients

6 baby eggplants

1 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp chilli flakes

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

sea salt flakes

1 lemon

extra virgin olive oil, for serving

fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Preparation

While oven preheats to 400 degrees F, drizzle a tablespoon of ordinary olive oil over a baking tray. Sprinkle the coriander, cumin and chilli directly over the oil.

Slice the eggplants in half and place them cut side down into the oil, sliding them about a bit to pick up the flavourings. When the oven is ready, turn the eggplants cut side up and roast for 25 minutes.

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over, sprinkle with salt and some chopped parsley and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil just before serving.
