Mediterranean Roasted Eggplant: A Flavorful and Healthy Side

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Eggplant

Arrange eggplant slices on a baking sheet.

Brush both sides with olive oil to ensure even roasting.

3. Season

Sprinkle minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the eggplant slices.

4. Roast

Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown.

5. Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley or basil.

Optionally, top with crumbled feta or a drizzle of tahini for extra flavor.

Serve warm as a side dish or part of a Mediterranean mezze platter.
