Ingredients

For the Eggplant

  • 2 medium eggplants
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Chimichurri Sauce

  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar or any type of vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 430°F. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the eggplant crosswise into ½-inch thick circles.
  • Pat dry the slices with paper towels.
  • Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Turn the eggplant and repeat on the other side.
  • Roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggplant is soft and golden. Flip halfway through.
  • Add all the chimichurri sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • Place the roasted eggplant slices on a plate and spoon chimichurri sauce onto your eggplant slices. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • What is the best temperature for roasting eggplant slices? Baking at a high temperature for a shorter time will give you better results. My favorite temperature is 430°F, but you can experiment anywhere between 400 and 430°F.
  • How long does it take to roast eggplant slices in the oven? Roasting time varies based on your oven's temperature and the thickness of the slices. If you bake them at 430°F, you should check after 15 minutes.
  • Can I use an air fryer to roast eggplant slices? Yes, the air fryer will cook your eggplants faster with a crispier exterior. Cook at 400°F for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
