  1. This looks fantastic!! My husband is Italian and we love (I'm talkin LOVE) eggplant so this recipe is perfect for us. Sounds both healthy and delicious and can't wait to try it. Would probably do it as a pita sandwich and possibly drizzle a little tzatziki sauce over the roasted veggies before eating. This sounds like a definite winner and thank you so much for posting this!!
