  • Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch pieces. (TIP: Peel eggplant before cutting, if desired.)
  • Transfer eggplant to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over top. Season with half the Harissa Spice Blend, salt and pepper. Toss to coat
  • Roast in the top of the oven, stirring halfway until golden and tender, 12-15 min.
Finish prep and make sauces

  • Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Add half the garlic, half the parsley and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to a microwave-safe bowl. Melt for 30 sec. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to mix.
