Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit).
Wash the aubergines and cut them into 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange the aubergine slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Brush each aubergine slice generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the aubergine slices for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until they become golden brown and tender.
While the aubergines are roasting, finely chop the parsley and crumble the feta cheese.
Once the aubergines are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the roasted aubergines with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle the chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese on top.
Serve immediately as a warm side dish or as a main course with your choice of grains or bread.
