Prep: 5m Cook: 30m Total: 35m

Ingredients

  • 2 medium Eggplant ((~1 lb each))
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
  • Slice the eggplant crosswise to make circles, about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. Cut off the leafy end only after you are done slicing, so that you'll have more to grab onto as you slice.
  • Arrange the eggplant slices on an extra large baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Flip and repeat the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
  • Roast the eggplant slices in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, until soft and golden.
