Sarah Cooper's mediterranean eggplant with crispy chickpeas & feta
There is nothing quite like cooking at home. Starting with an array of ingredient, and through the process of a little love and a little hard work, you can create something of beauty and flavour. That’s why we spoke with Sarah Cooper from @scoopitup_ about her love of food as well as all things health and wellbeing. Plus Sarah has shared with us her delicious baked eggplant recipe that is food for the soul. A perfect healthy and delicious go-to dinner or side.

1 eggplant halved ½ cup roasted chickpeas ½ cup crumbled feta 2 handfuls fresh chopped basil salt, pepper 2 tsp cumin 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp teriyaki coconut aminos 2 tbsp balsamic 1 tsp chilli flakes 2 tbsp dukkah |
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Cut eggplant in half and then make slight cross sections with a knife Place olive oil, balsamic, coconut aminos, cumin, chilli, salt and pepper in each half and use hands to spread over the whole eggplant so everything is covered ( you want it all to absorb the flavour) Place in the oven for 20 minutes Remove from oven and add feta, basil and dukkah Place back into the oven for another 10-15 minutes ( until nice and golden and soft) Sprinkle with chickpeas and extra fresh basil and enjoy! |
