Equipment

  • 1 18x26" cookie sheet pan
  • 1 sharp knife to slice eggplants
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggplants washed and sliced in half lengthwise
  • 6 tbsp. olive oil as needed
  • 1 tsp. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Option 1: Slice eggplants into thin 1/8" slices with a sharp knife; leave either whole slices or cut slices in half.
  • Option 2: Slice the whole eggplant in half from seed stem to bottom.
  • Place eggplant halves or slices on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
  • Brush each half or slice with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  • Bake at 350º in a convection oven for about an hour until eggplants darken and are no longer spongy to the touch.
  • Remove from oven.
  • Serve.

Notes

NOTE: I chose both options--1 and 2. You can also cut the halved eggplants down into slices. Dab olive oil on each slice and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake at 350º in a convection oven for about an hour. Serve plain or with salsa or hummus as an appetizer.
 
NOTE: The eggplants really absorb the olive oil. Be careful, or you’ll end up with 500 to 600 calories of oil on each half of eggplant!
