Delicious Roasted Eggplant Recipe for a Mediterranean Feast

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 2 medium eggplants (sliced in half lengthwise)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even roasting.
  2. Prepare the Eggplants

    Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and scoop out some flesh if desired.

    This helps them roast better and absorb flavors.
  3. Season the Eggplants

    Drizzle olive oil over the cut sides of the eggplants and season with salt and black pepper.

    Make sure to coat them evenly for the best flavor.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Place the seasoned eggplants cut-side down on a baking sheet.

    Use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  5. Roast the Eggplants

    Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until tender.

    Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; it should be soft.
