- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons za'atar
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic grated
- ½ teaspoon salt

- To get a rich, caramelized texture on your eggplant, be sure to spread the cubes in a single layer on your baking sheet. If using a large eggplant or doubling the recipe, use two sheets to maintain a single layer for even roasting. Nutrition facts include 2 tablespoons of the tahini dipping sauce.
