I found this recipe online and modified it - sorry, I don't have the original link to give credit where due!
I vary the fruits in it to vary flavor - cranberries / dates / candied ginger. Also I find enjoy it just as is, not with milk / milk substitute as some granolas.

This is a great dish - and even though the eggplants take a while to cook in the oven, it takes relatively little time to put together. I very the spices every time I make it. The results are always good.
The key to a good eggplant is to not introduce any water to the dish. If you have to use water, then you have to drain it for a long time...
