There’s a struggle that I have, as a food blogger and recipe developer, where sometimes, my favorite recipes, aren’t always a good fit for this blog. Why, you ask?
It’s simple. No, not that the answer is simple. The recipe is simple. Too simple? Maybe? I dunno. If I add one spice mix to a vegetable, is that a blog worthy recipe? I don’t know. Is it? But then sometimes, these too-simple-to-be-a-recipe type of recipes just hit the spot, and I find myself making them again, and again, and again. And then again, because it’s just.that.good. So then, as I make it for the fourth time in a week, I find myself thinking about how unfair it is to deprive you guys of a recipe that’s this good.
So here we are. Everything Roasted Eggplant. It’s ridiculously simple, but also ridiculously perfect. I mean, it’s filling, super easy, and just so so good. I don’t really know what more to tell you about it, other than go grab yourself a bunch of eggplants and get cooking!
What do you think? Should I continue to share my too-simple recipes?

- 2 large eggplants, cut in ¼ inch slices
- 2 teaspoons salt
- oil spray or non-stick spray
- 2 Tablespoons Everything (Bagel) Spice Mix (store-bought or homemade, see note below)
- Preheat oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Sprinkle salt over the eggplant slices and let sit for about 15-20 minutes, to draw out bitterness.
- Pat eggplant slices to dry, then place on prepared baking sheets, in a single layer. (For best results, the slices should not overlap or touch.)
- Spray slices with spray oil, then sprinkle everything spice mix over the top. Spray again with spray oil.
- Bake for 15 minutes, flip each slice, spray again, then bake another 15 minutes.
- To make your own everything spice mix, combine equal amounts of white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, minced dried garlic, minced dried onion and coarse salt.

Yes! Please keep posted too easy to make recipes! Those are my favorite! I can’t spend all day in the kitchen making complicated recipes…
“What do you think? Should I continue to share my too-simple recipes?”
YES!!! the simplest recipes are my favorites! Wish you would write a cookbook where all recipes have 2 or 3 ingredients
Yes please, recipes like this are the best! This is perfect for those of us who are still OVERTIME cooks- simple ideas like this are perfect for us!
I just tried this and it came out great! I had never heard about this spice before- it’s genius! Do you think this can be rewarded and served for lunch on shabbos?
Love the simplicity of this! So simple and delicious!
