Mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Brush each aubergine slice generously with the garlic oil mixture on both sides.
Bake the aubergine slices in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, flip the slices over, and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the aubergines are tender and golden brown.
While the aubergine is baking, chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
After baking, drizzle the baked aubergine slices with lemon juice.
Sprinkle the vegan parmesan cheese evenly over the slices and return to the oven for another 5 minutes to melt slightly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
