These vibrant stacks feature tender, smoky grilled aubergine slices seasoned with aromatic za'atar spice. Layered with creamy hummus and sweet roasted red peppers, they make for a fantastic low-carb lunch or a stunning appetizer.

3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp za'atar spice blend

To assemble, place a slice of grilled aubergine on a plate, spread a generous spoonful of hummus on top, and add a few pieces of roasted red pepper.
