- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
- 1/4 cup crumbled soft feta
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Toss eggplant wedges with oil to coat. Add smoked paprika and salt and toss to coat. Spread out on the prepared baking sheet. Roast, turning the eggplant over with a spatula once, until the eggplant is softened and caramelized on the bottom, 18 to 24 minutes.

Notes
Cooking tip:
The eggplant will need about 20 minutes in the oven, but watch it closely near the end of the cooking time to make sure it’s not getting too dark in color. And make sure not to crowd the baking sheet, otherwise you run the risk of cooking the eggplant unevenly.
