Spread the cauliflower florets and eggplant rounds on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of the olive oil, sprinkle with 1 tsp salt, and toss to coat. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden at the edges and the eggplant is tender and lightly browned.
