How to Prepare Eggplant Hummus Rounds [Vegan]
- Prepare hummus as directed below or use package hummus to save time.
- 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.
- 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.
- Mix breadcrumbs, chopped parsley and 1 Tbsp grapeseed oil in a small bowl and set aside.
- 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.
- Place the rounds in the oven on broil until the bread crumbs are brown, 5 minutes.
- Place garlic in a large food processor and pulse until it is coarsely chopped.
- Add remaining ingredients, expect for the water, and process until smooth. Water will make the hummus creamier, therefore add it slowly until desired texture.
