- 1tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
- kosher salt and black pepper
- Vegetables like carrots and banana peppers for serving
- + a dark bread like pumpernickel
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400° F.
- Place the eggplant baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Then, roast until very tender, 30- 40 minutes (check and stir around after 15 min).
- When the eggplant is cool enough to handle, finely chop and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the onion, garlic, parsley, oil, vinegar, mayonnaise (if using), 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and mix to combine.
- Sprinkle with additional parsley and serve with the bread and vegetables.
