For this eggplant recipe, I kept the seasonings simple and easy! You really don’t need a ton of ingredients to make a good roasted eggplant, just a few seasonings and some butter or a high quality EVOO. However, these eggplant slices can be used in a variety of ways, turn them into eggplant parmesan by topping them off with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese, or use them in lasagna instead of pasta. The possibilities are truly endless.

How to roast eggplant

Roasted eggplant is really simple, quick and seamless! Once you have it down, it’ll become second nature.

Wash and slice eggplant into about 1/2 inch thick slices. The thinner the slice the quicker it will take to roast. I have found about 1/2 inch or slightly smaller is the sweet spot.
Arrange eggplant slices on a baking sheet that’s lined with parchment paper or foil. Then brush both sides with melted butter. To keep this recipe vegan, be sure to use vegan butter or EVOO.
Season the eggplant with all of the seasonings: salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder.
Roast the eggplant at 425F for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are crispy and caramelized.
Serve with your favorite dish and enjoy!
