Smoky Eggplant and Melon Wraps image

The sweetness of the cantaloupe really pairs well with the spicy smoky bite of the eggplant. I made extra, since I gave the left overs for hubby to take to work. I used Xylitol instead of brown sugar to keep this sugar free.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, to the eggplant mixture.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my wraps turned out soggy. I think I may have used too much oil.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I had some grilled eggplant in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but I really enjoyed this dish. The smokiness of the eggplant was balanced out by the sweetness of the melon.

This was a delicious and easy recipe to follow. I used a variety of melons, including cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon, and they all worked well. The smoky eggplant added a nice depth of flavor.
