Roasted Vegetable Spread

Roasting brings out the sweetness and mellows the flavors of the vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium eggplant, halved
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 1 green pepper, halved
  • 1 red pepper, halved
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ tsp. salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 500ºF. Place the eggplant cut side down on a baking sheet. Brush with ½ tablespoon oil and roast for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Add the peppers to the pan, brush with remaining ½ tablespoon oil, and continue to roast until all vegetables are tender (25 minutes).
  3. Let vegetables cool until safe to handle (10-15 minutes). Peel eggplant, drain off liquids from the resting period, and blend the vegetables in a food processor or blender.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients and purée well.
