- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Rinse the aubergines and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the aubergines into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are an even size for uniform cooking.
Place the aubergine cubes in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the aubergine cubes, and toss them well to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and ground black pepper over the aubergine.
Toss the seasoning with the aubergine cubes until they are well-coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Spread the seasoned aubergine cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the aubergine in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown.
Once roasted, remove the aubergine from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted aubergines and gently toss to coat.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious low-sodium side dish or a main course.
