Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium aubergines (eggplants)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the aubergines in half lengthwise and score the flesh in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously over the cut sides of the aubergines, ensuring it seeps into the scored flesh.
Place the aubergines cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the aubergines in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and golden brown.
Remove the aubergines from the oven and sprinkle them with fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
Serve the roasted aubergines warm as a side dish or a main dish for a light paleo meal.
