Indulge in the delightful Moroccan-inspired roasted eggplant salad, which boasts a perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness. Similar to Moroccan taktouka or matbucha, the salad has an added twist of roasted eggplant cubes. Ideal for mezze platters or as a snack, it is also an excellent option for make-ahead meals as the flavors intensify when left in the fridge.
