The secret to eating eggplant? Grill or roast it until the skin blackens and the exterior softens to a pulp. A great source of fiber and nutrients, eggplants are naturally low in calories and sodium. Our tahini eggplant recipe includes a charred eggplant served with whipped tahini and an infused spicy zhug (a delicious type of hot sauce originating in Yemeni cuisine).
