2 small eggplants, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
6 medium plum tomatoes, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 to 8 basil leaves, finely chopped, or about 1 teaspoon dried leaf basil
Fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
Spray a large shallow baking pan with olive oil spray or grease with olive oil. Heat oven to 425°. In a large food storage bag or bowl, toss the sliced eggplant and tomatoes with the salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic, and basil. Spread the sliced tomatoes and eggplant out in the prepared baking pan in a single layer (overlapping a little is okay, but if you’re stacking, use 2 pans). Bake the slices for 35 to 45 minutes, or until vegetables are nicely browned. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped (you can use your shallots as well)
Kosher salt
Freshly chopped parsley leaves
Peel tomatoes by scoring the skin of each tomato with a sharp knife (do not cut too deep). Then, place scored tomatoes into a pot of boiling water and boil for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove tomatoes and plunge into cold water. Peel and dice tomatoes and set aside. Heat olive oil in a saucepan. When hot, add garlic and crushed red pepper. Sauté until garlic turns slightly golden. Add chopped onion and sauté an additional 2 1/2 minutes. Add chopped plum tomatoes and cook approximately 5 minutes. Add salt to taste. Add chopped parsley and extra virgin olive oil if desired, just before using.
Line 12 cups (each 2 1/2 inches wide) of a standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, pumpkin-pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, butter, and egg. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add yogurt mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in carrots. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. (If desired, muffins can be baked immediately in a 375-degree oven for about 20 minutes.) Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes, then cover tin with plastic wrap, and freeze until ready to bake, up to 3 months. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake muffins (still frozen) until a toothpick inserted in center of one comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
