23. - Small serving dishes
25. #### Instructions
27. 1. **Preheat the Oven**
28. - Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). This ensures that you can roast the eggplants evenly without burning them.
30. 2. **Prepare the Eggplants**
31. - Slice each eggplant in half lengthwise.
32. - Using a spoon, scoop out some of the flesh from the center of each slice, leaving about 1/4 inch thickness. This will help reduce cooking time and create a flatter surface for roasting.
33. - Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
35. 3. **Roast the Eggplants**
36. - Drizzle the eggplant slices lightly with olive oil and sprinkle them evenly with salt, pepper, and oregano.
37. - Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are soft and golden brown on the edges.
39. 4. **Prepare the Pâté Ingredients**
40. - While the eggplants are roasting, combine sesame seeds and a small amount of olive oil in a mixing bowl.
41. - In another bowl, mix together the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and optional lemon juice.
43. 5. **Blend the Pâté**
44. - Once the eggplant slices are done, let them cool slightly. Use a fork to scrape off the flesh from each slice, making sure not to leave any seeds behind.
45. - Place the mashed eggplant in a blender or food processor along with the sesame seed mixture. Blend until smooth but still slightly chunky.
47. 6. **Assemble and Serve**
48. - Spoon the pâté into small serving dishes or ramekins. Garnish each dish with a sprinkle of additional sesame seeds.
49. - Serve chilled or at room temperature, paired well with crusty bread, crackers, or veggie sticks.
51. #### Tips for Success
52. - Ensure the eggplants are cut evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
53. - Letting the pâté cool slightly before serving enhances its texture and flavor.
54. - For an extra touch of freshness, garnish each dish with a few fresh parsley sprigs.
