These roasted aubergine tacos offer a sophisticated and low-carb twist on a Mexican-inspired favourite. By using tender, golden aubergine rounds as the shell, this vegetarian dish becomes a wonderful vehicle for rich, melted Brie and aromatic fresh herbs. The natural smokiness of the roasted vegetable pairs beautifully with the creamy cheese, creating a simple yet refined flavour profile that works perfectly as an elegant starter or a light lunch.

Quick to prepare and naturally gluten-free, this recipe is ideal for effortless entertaining or a healthy midweek snack. You can experiment with the herbs depending on the season, using coriander for a more traditional taco feel or fresh basil for a Mediterranean touch. Serve them warm from the oven for the best texture and a truly comforting savoury treat.
