Ingredients
- 2 large aubergines
- 5 sprays extra virgin olive oil spray
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 small lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F) or gas mark 8.
Wash the aubergines and cut them into 1-inch thick slices.
Lay the aubergine slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Lightly coat the aubergine slices with olive oil spray. Five sprays in total should evenly distribute across the slices.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Sprinkle the chopped garlic over the aubergine slices.
Scatter fresh thyme evenly across the aubergine slices.
Season the aubergine slices with salt and black pepper to taste.
Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze one half over the aubergine slices, ensuring even coverage.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the aubergines for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Optionally, drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the roasted aubergines before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a light main course.
