Mediterranean Eggplant Fan | Juicy Traybake Dinner

Preheat the oven to 200 °C and line a baking sheet with baking paper.

Cut the washed eggplants lengthwise into slices about 1 centimetre thick, keeping the stem intact so that they can be spread open into a fan shape. Lightly salt between the slices, let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat off the excess moisture with paper towels.

In a small bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil with the crushed garlic, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices thoroughly with the mixture.
