Ingredients

3 pita bread rounds, cut horizontally in half, then cut into wedges
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1 1/4-pound eggplant, quartered lengthwise
2 1/2 cups chopped onions
2 unpeeled garlic cloves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

    Preheat oven to 475°F. Arrange pita wedges in single layer on rimmed baking sheet; brush pita lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
