On the advice of Julie, who promised even eggplant haters would love this recipe, I prepared Moroccan Roasted Vegetables from Moosewood New Classics. I had many fresh veggies from my CSA box, including 2 little Japanese eggplant. I actually wavered between making this recipe and Heathen Vegan’s Mediterranean Crumble, but decided to go gluten free. Check out Jeni’s Rosti recipe with that Crumble too!I chopped up onions, yellow tomatoes, purple and yellow peppers, the eggplant, zucchini, a hot red chili, and added in some baby carrots and the chickpeas. (I left out the sweet potato too, Julie.) Then I mixed all the spices and tossed them into the veggies. Here they are ready to roast.
Forty minutes later they rested atop some steamed broccoli, got topped with almonds and raisins, and dinner was served.

It was so good and I couldn’t even tell I was eating eggplant – just the way I like it!

So many veggies! I'm with you on the eggplant not tasting like eggplant thing! :)
Wow! That really looks good! I need to get that cookbook. I hear so many good recipes from it. Yum!
Oh yeah! Moroccan anything is what I like!
Woohoo! Glad you made it and love it! So true that you can't even taste the eggplant.
Eggplant IS best when it's not too eggplanty. I'm with you on that.
Cool!

Very Moroccan!
this looks absolutely awesome! i love that you added in some chickpeas - and the raisins & almonds on top. oh my gosh - mmmmmmm! it sounds wonderful! i need to make this soon! wow!
i really, really hate eggplant, but have 2 in my kitchen that need using. but i don't have this cookbook..boo. my mom does though, maybe i can call her later to get the recipe. i refuse to let those poor (gross) eggplants go bad because of my prejudice!
Glad you liked it--and that the eggplant passed muster! (You could always try the eggplant in cookies--I swear, you won't taste it!!) ;)
Roasted veggies are right up there with best ever dishes!
Diann, our kitchens are joined at the soul. I was just about to search "Morroccon vegetable/eggplant" recipes and here you reminded me to use Mr. Moose!
