👩🍳 Step-by-Step Recipe
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Eggplant
Wash the eggplants and cut them into 1-inch cubes or thick slices.
Step 3: Season the Eggplant
Place the eggplant pieces in a large bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano. Toss well so the eggplant is evenly coated.
Step 4: Arrange on the Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned eggplant pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Roast the Eggplant
Place the tray in the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the eggplant halfway through, until it becomes soft and golden brown.
Step 6: Add Final Touches
Remove from the oven, drizzle with lemon juice, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Step 7: Serve
Serve warm as a healthy side dish, salad topping, or wrap filling. 🍆✨
