Ingredients
2 large eggplants

3 cloves garlic
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup red onion
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Slice eggplants into 1/2 inch thick rounds, salt lightly, and let sit for 20–30 minutes, then pat dry.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Brush eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
4. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
5. Mix cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, parsley, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl.
6. Transfer roasted eggplant to a serving plate and top with the tomato mixture.
7. Sprinkle feta cheese and red pepper flakes on top, then serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Use plenty of olive oil to achieve a rich, silky texture in the eggplant.
Avoid overcrowding the pan so the eggplant roasts instead of steaming.
Add feta just before serving to keep its creamy texture intact.
