Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 35 mins

2. Toss eggplant with bell pepper, tomatoes, garlic, 2 tablespoons oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then pour onto a large baking sheet.
3. Bake for 35 minutes, until vegetables are tender and starting to caramelize.
4. Puree the roasted eggplant mixture with the mint, cheese, and lemon juice in a food processor for 30 seconds or so, until still somewhat chunky but pureed. Pour into a saucepan and heat to a boil, adding water until the sauce is the consistency you like.
