These aubergine miso wedges are packed with flavour and so easy to make. Coated with a sticky miso and sesame glaze with sesame seeds, and a creamy tahini dip.
🍴 Why you will love this recipe
Aubergine is a vegetable like no other, with its silky, savoury flesh. When roasted it is transformed, and these aubergine miso wedges have a crispy, sesame-coated crust and flavour-packed flesh.
They are very easy to make, either in an oven or an air-fryer, and can be on the table in as little as 20 minutes. The creamy tahini and vegan yoghurt dip is a perfect match for dipping into or smearing over the wedges.
These could be a simple starter, a side dish, or served as a main course, perhaps with rice and salad. They would also be delicious served with vegan flatbreads or stir-fried spring greens.
📝 What you need
Ingredients
Aubergines I tend to choose fairly small aubergines so that the wedges are a manageable size, but if you only have huge ones you could cut them into smaller wedges instead. Baby aubergines are also brilliant in this recipe, cut lengthways into quarters.
Miso paste gives a deeply savoury and very more-ish flavour to these wedges. Look out for it in jars in the Japanese section in supermarkets.
Vegan Greek Yoghurt I love the thick oat yoghurt pictured above, but any thick greek-style dairy-free yoghurt will work well, as long as it is unsweetened.
Tahini is sesame seed paste, and a perfect flavour match with these aubergine miso wedges.

Slice the aubergines into six large wedges. Mix together the sesame oil, miso paste, ginger and garlic.
Brush the miso mixture all over the wedges and place them skin-side down on a large baking tray. Roast for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy. Scatter with sesame seeds 5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
Mix the vegan greek yoghurt, tahini and chopped spring onion to make the dip. Serve the aubergine miso wedges with the dip on the side.
🔪 Top Tips & FAQs
Keep an eye on the wedges in the oven - they need to come out when they are golden and crispy all over but before they completely collapse.
For a spicy twist add some chilli flakes to the miso marinade mixture.
