Heat oven to 200 C.

Wash and dry eggplant and peppers.

Cut eggplant into large chunks and quarter the peppers.

5
Spray veges with a little oil and place in a single layer onto a parchment or aluminum foil lined baking tray.
6
Roast for about 40 - 50 minutes or until it's wilted and the skin turns black.
7
Place roasted veges into a heatproof baggy and seal or, into a heatproof bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to sweat for about 15 - 20 mins.
8
Peel and discard the skins of both veges.
9

At this point, it's up to you whether you want the ajvar to be chunky or a fine puree. As you can see, I like mine somewhere in between.
