Roasting eggplant and chickpeas together on one sheet pan turns them golden and slightly crisp at the edges, a satisfying base for a creamy tahini-lemon dressing. Served over brown rice or quinoa, it's a filling plant-based bowl.

This recipe is tagged for PCOS-friendly eating because chickpeas and whole grains bring fiber and plant protein to help build a steadier plate, and the dressing uses tahini rather than any added sugar. It's a satisfying vegan dinner or make-ahead lunch.
