Eggplant is a vegetable that people often wonder how to incorporate into their diet. This recipe is very easy, and fibrous eggplant combined with protective garlic and the healthy fats in tahini make it a wonderful heart food.
Ingredients

- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) tahini
- 1-2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
