I love eggplant. One of the easiest ways to enjoy eggplant, is roasted. Simply cut the eggplant across making 1/2" wheels. Brush with olive oil. Sprinkle thyme, salt, pepper.

In a separate bowls combine 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs 1 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/2 cup of crated parmesan cheese. top each wheel with mixture and bake for 40 minutes in a 350º oven.  Enjoy!

Roasted Parsnips with just a bit of Cumin Seeds.

When I was young I hated parsnips, even though I had never tried them...
I love them now, roasted with herbs and a bit of cumin, mmmmm.

Cut them in fourths lengthwise, toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, thyme, salt, pepper, gound ginger and a bit of cumin. Cumin can be overpowering so just a bit.

Roast in a 375º oven for 30 minutes.
