• 3 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 35 mins

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
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.
