    How to make roasted eggplant with cauliflower

    First, you roast eggplant, cauliflower florets and a whole garlic head. Then, let these cool down before you process everything in a food processor with some seasoning, lemon juice and parsley and you are done!

    How long does eggplant dip last?

    If stored in the fridge in an airtight container or a sealed jar it will keep up to 3 days. However, for best results, I recommend consuming it within 2 days.
