Trim the ends from the aubergines and slice each in half, then each half into 3 wedges.

Roast the wedges for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy, turning occasionally. 5 minutes before the end of cooking time, scatter with the sesame seeds and toss until fully coated.

In a small bowl mix the yoghurt, tahini and spring onion and season well with salt and black pepper.
Serve the aubergine wedges with the dip on the side.

Notes
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.
