Garlic and Herb Roasted Eggplant

Directions

1. Slice eggplant.

2. Add a thing layer of salt to each side of the eggplant. Leave it on for 30 minutes.

3. Use a paper towel to remove the moisture from the eggplant.

4. In a bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and dried herbs. 

5. Coat each slice of eggplant with this marinade.

6. Back for 30 minutes at 400 degrees Farenheit, turning halfway. Another great way to cook the eggplant is to grill each side for 5 minutes.

Personal Connection

I prepared this dish for a potluck and someone asked how eggplants got their name. I looked it up and it turns out young eggplants look exactly like eggs.
