I was in the mood to make a simple, clean-flavored dish for company tomorrow. A veggie dish that could mostly be prepared ahead is what I was thinking. Since I know that someone else is bringing a tomato and potato dish, I didn’t want to duplicate those flavors, so I decided on roasting eggplant slices and topping them with a spiced butternut squash.

Ingredients:
Eggplants
Butternut Squash
Fresh Ginger
Scallions
Dried Currants
Garam Masala
Olive Oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Peel the eggplant, slice into 1" thick rounds and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. No oil needed! Roast for about 30 to 40 minutes until browned and soft when pierced with a fork.
