4 servings
- 2 medium eggplants (about 1 lb / 450g each), halved lengthwise
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
- 2
Score the cut side of each eggplant half in a crosshatch pattern, cutting about 3/4 inch deep without piercing the skin. This allows the heat and oil to penetrate the flesh.
