Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a bowl, toss the diced eggplant with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
3. Spread the eggplant on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, or until golden and tender.
4. While the eggplant is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce by mixing tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Add water to reach desired consistency.
