Directions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. - Prepare the Eggplant
Wash the eggplants thoroughly, then slice them into thin rounds. Place the slices in a colander, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. - Dry the Slices
Pat the eggplant slices dry with a clean cloth or paper towel to help them bake evenly and become lightly crisp. - Make the Seasoning Mix
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended and fragrant. - Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place the eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each slice with the seasoned oil mixture. - Add the Topping
Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over each slice. If desired, add a small amount of grated cheese for a richer finish. - Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the eggplant is golden brown and tender inside with slightly crisp edges. - Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
