Carrot and Cucumber Roll-Ups with Smoked Eggplant Spread

Sam Muller

BY Erika Houle

PUBLISHED June 9, 2025

Silky and smoky, crunchy and fresh, and, visually, delightful, these roll-ups tick all the boxes. Ribboned carrots and cucumbers are idyllic vessels for charred eggplant blended with garlic, lemon, salt, tahini, and extra virgin olive oil. Topped with a vivid green oil/sauce—optional, but definitely recommended—and toasted sesame seeds, this recipe makes the idea of just rolling with it as appealing as ever. Plus, you’ll be left with lots of carrots, cucumbers, and smoked eggplant spread for an exciting new meal tomorrow.
