BAKED EGGPLANT BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Roast the eggplant by cutting it into 1/4″ slices and brushing each side with olive oil.
• Bake for 10 minutes on one side, then flip the slices and bake for another 5 minutes.
• Place the diced red onion and 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the onion softens.
• Remove eggplant from the oven, turn the oven down to 400 degrees.
• Stir together the eggplant, onion, beans, bell pepper, parsley, pine nuts, garlic, sea salt, hummus and cumin in a large bowl.
• Blend the mixture in a food processor - about 15 seconds.
• Pour the mixture back into a bowl, stir in the breadcrumbs, and use your hands to make four large patties.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray. Place the patties on the foil.
• Bake for 45 minutes, turning them over halfway through.
• Remove the burgers from the oven, top with hummus or tahini sauce, and enjoy!

EGGPLANT HUMMUS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
• Prick the eggplant with a fork and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes or until it collapses on itself. Slice it open to cool.
• If desired, remove the skin of the eggplant with your hands before adding the flesh to the blender. I like the skin so just drop the whole eggplant in the blender.
• Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add more water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
• If you'd like, garnish with paprika, pine nuts, olive oil, and chopped basil or other herbs.
