How to Prepare Eggplant Hummus Rounds [Vegan]

Eggplant: 
  1. Prepare hummus as directed below or use package hummus to save time.
  2. Brush eggplant with 4 Tbsp grapeseed oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in a frying pan on med-high and cook in batches for 2 minutes, flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Cook until the eggplants are tender but not fully cooked.
  3. Meanwhile, heat 1 Tbsp grapeseed oil in a frying pan on med heat and add red peppers, cook roughly 5 minutes or until the peppers are soft. Add the garlic and cook until you can smell the garlic, roughly 2 minutes. Add spinach to the pan and sauté until the spinach has wilted, 5 minutes.
  4. Mix breadcrumbs, chopped parsley and 1 Tbsp grapeseed oil in a small bowl and set aside.
  5. Place eggplant rounds on a baking sheet and top with spinach mixture. Evenly spread the hummus on top of the spinach and top with bread crumb mixture.
  6. Place the rounds in the oven on broil until the bread crumbs are brown, 5 minutes.
Hummus: 
  1. Place garlic in a large food processor and pulse until it is coarsely chopped.
  2. Add remaining ingredients, expect for the water, and process until smooth. Water will make the hummus creamier, therefore add it slowly until desired texture.
