Directions
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F), Gas mark 7.
Place the onion wedges in a bowl with the aubergine pieces, pour over the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and stir together to combine. Spread out on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, place the chickpeas in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, then make the dressing by mixing the yoghurt with the paprika and mint in another bowl.
To serve, mix together the roasted onion and aubergine with the chickpeas, then place in one large serving dish or divide between individual plates, drizzle with the yoghurt dressing and scatter the rocket leaves on top.
