How to Prepare Eggplant Kebab With Tahini Sauce [Vegan]

Preheat your oven to 390°F. Alternatively, prepare your grill (you'll need a grill pan to roast the eggplant on).
Wash your eggplant and cut it into cubes. Place in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
Place all the spices, flour and water in a bowl and mix together with a spoon. Alternatively, place everything in your blender and mix for 5 seconds.
Pour the mixture over the eggplant cubes and combine with your hands until all cubes are covered.
Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper and place the eggplant on it. Make sure to spread the cubes across the whole sheet.
Bake at 390°F for 40-45 minutes. The eggplant should be dark brown, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside.
In the meantime, cut all the vegetables for the filling.
Prepare the tahini by pouring all ingredients into a small bowl and whisking together. If you want it to be more/less liquid, increase/reduce the amount of water.
Heat up both sides of the flatbread in a pan and spread the hummus inside. Assemble all the vegetables, eggplant, and herbs inside and sprinkle with the tahini dressing.
