Eggplant roasted in the oven has to be one of our favourite veggies. The sweet soy seasoning gives it a special boost of flavour and the refreshing cucumber slaw, drizzled over with sesame dressing, tastes divine.

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut eggplant into quarters lengthways, then deeply score the flesh to make a criss-cross pattern. • Place eggplant on lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle over sweet soy seasoning and season with salt. Toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
