Method
 

Instructions
  1. Place the eggplant slices on some paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Let the eggplants 'sweat out' any bitterness for 20 minutes. Pat dry.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the eggplant slices on a lightly oiled baking pan, drizzle generously with olive oil, and roast for 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, assemble the remaining ingredients on a large serving platter. Begin with the two hummus spreads on opposite sides. Place Tzatziki sauce in the cored bell pepper at the center of the platter. Assemble the remaining ingredients on the platter to your liking.
  4. When the eggplant is roasted to a nice medium-brown, remove it from the oven and sprinkle with 1 tsp of sumac. Add the roasted eggplant to the platter.
  5. Cover and refrigerate this mezze party platter; take it out a few minutes before your guests arrive. Enjoy with warm pita and crostini or your choice of crackers.
