Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Wash and dry the 2 eggplants. Trim the stems, then slice into 1-inch thick rounds.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Brush both sides with the 3 tbsp olive oil.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle the 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper evenly over the slices.

  5. Step 5

    Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until the eggplant is golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. Add a squeeze of lemon or fresh herbs if you like.
