Za'atar Chicken and Eggplant Traybake

Za’atar is a Middle Eastern seed, herb and spice blend. We use it as a seasoning for chicken and eggplant roasted together on the same baking sheet. Surrounded by the chicken and eggplant, garlic cloves at the center of the baking sheet become soft and creamy. To finish the dish, we create a flavorful sauce by mashing the cloves then deglazing the pan with water and lemon juice.
