A one tray wonder!!
1 x Aubergine
Tin of Chickpeas, drained
2 Cloves Garlic sliced
Handful Cherry Tomatoes (red, yellow or both) halved
Ground Cumin 2tsp
Ground Coriander 1tsp
Paprika 1tsp
Chilli flakes large pinch
Olive oil 5 tbsp
Salt and Pepper
1 x Lemon
Parsley
Whack your oven up to 200 and put a suitable sized baking tray in the oven. Then cut your aubergine into 4cm pieces leaving the skin on. You want them chunky!
In a large bowl mix your spices, salt and pepper and olive oil. Throw in your aubergine and give it all a mix so they become friends.
When your oven is hot enough remove the tray (carefully!) and pour in your spiced aubergine chunks and marinade.
After 20-30 mins your aubergine should be browning and looking appetizing. Now add chickpeas, cherry tomatoes and sliced garlic. Give it all a shake and place back in the oven for 10 mins.
Remove the tray from the oven, Stir in some chopped parsley and the juice and zest of one lemon.
Spoon the juicy goodness over brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat or your fave grain. A dollop of yoghurt wouldn’t hurt but is not essential.
