Turkish Roasted Eggplant with Yogurt Sauce

Ingredients

4 Japanese eggplants
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons mint leaves, chopped
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Cut eggplants in half lengthwise. Score 1 inch slits through flesh. Brush eggplants with 1/3 cup of the oil to coat flesh. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until soft about 45 minutes.
