  • 3/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Arrange eggplants, cut-side up, on a baking sheet.
  3. Cut about 1/4 inch off the top portion of the garlic, exposing the cloves. Place garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil and wrap foil around garlic, sealing the edges together.
  4. Roast the eggplant and garlic in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes; remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
