Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large aubergines
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 grams pomegranate seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Slice the aubergines in half lengthwise and score the flesh deeply in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin.
Mix the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme leaves, rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Brush the mixture generously over the scored surface of the aubergine halves, ensuring the oil gets into the cuts.
Place the aubergine halves cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the aubergines are soft and golden brown on top.
Remove the aubergines from the oven and let them cool slightly before handling.
Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley over the aubergines.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light main course paired with a fresh salad.
