Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis, cut into wedges
- 1 eggplant, cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon extra
- Pinch of salt
- ¾ cup Greek yoghurt
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated

- ½ bunch of parsley, leaves picked, stalks finely sliced
- ½ bunch mint, leaves picked

Method
- Preheat oven to 220°C (fan-forced). In a large bowl toss eggplant and zucchinis with 1 tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt. Arrange in a single layer on a lined baking tray. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden and tender.
- Combine yoghurt, tahini, garlic, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of oil in a small bowl and mix well.

- Spread yoghurt sauce on the bottom of a large serving platter. Arrange roasted eggplant and zucchini wedges on top, spoon over lentil salad and sprinkle over almonds.
Cooking Tip: Roasting is a great way to cook eggplant. It needs much less oil than pan-frying, and still results in a lovely golden colour and crispy, crunchy edges.
Nutrition Tip: Lentils are a nutrition powerhouse packed with plenty plant fibre and protein. This makes them a great staple for vegetarians and vegans, but also a handy alternative for meat-eaters to add balance and variety.
