Mmm. This was a delicious appetizer before we started grilling on Saturday. I had a nice juicy looking eggplant, and some tomatoes from my CSA box, and I had seen some delicious looking flatbread on Smitten Kitchen. A perfect combination!
This recipe can be adapted to whatever you have available, adding and subtracting as you please. I didn't use the whole amount of olive oil, I just drizzled some oil over the veggies and then roasted. I had ready roasted peppers, so I just chopped them and added in the last few minutes of cooking. Its interesting, my husband sampled the same dish in a restaurant the next day and it was too oily, so I'm happy I held back, for taste reasons as well as our health.
The rosemary flatbread was a perfect accompaniment in flavor and very convenient to cook together, I cooked the eggplant and fresh tomatoes for 30 mins, then increased the temperature of the oven to 450 and cooked the three flatbreads one at a time. These are totally delicious and addictive!
