Craving garlic bread, but watching your carbs? Roasted Eggplant Slices are just what you need.
The perfect low-carb and gluten-free bread alternative. This easy eggplant recipe is packed with Mediterranean flavours. Tender and slightly crispy, it even looks like bread slices.
Eggplant or aubergine is one of those vegetables that is either loved or hated. Which side of the fence are you on?
Growing up in a Ukrainian household, I had my share of beets, cabbage, sauerkraut, and dill pickles. The cold room was always stocked with all kinds of preserves, jams, and sauces. Never, and I mean ever, did I once have eggplant as a kid. I didn’t even know what it was.
RECIPE and INSTRUCTIONS for this eggplant appetizer can be found at the bottom of the post.
I have made baba ganoush and ratatouille. My favourite way to cook vegetables is in the oven. Roasted Eggplant Medley is an easy recipe to try if you have never cooked eggplant before.
Ingredients For Oven Roasted Eggplant

Suggestions/Recipe Tips
Cheese can be any variety you like. I love the salty taste of feta in this recipe. Try cheddar or parmesan.
Olives can be black, green, purple, or any combination you like.
Greek seasoning can be replaced with Italian seasoning. I would even give curry seasoning a try too.
Canned artichokes in water work great. Marinated artichokes are a great alternative.
Serve as an appetizer. Works great on the brunch menu too.
Store leftovers wrapped in foil or plastic in the fridge. It will last for 1-2 days. I would not freeze this recipe.
Reheat easily in the oven just as you would reheat garlic bread. Place in a moderate oven until it reaches your perfect temperature.
By all means, experiment in the kitchen and play with your own selection of toppings. I’m pretty sure you can come up with some great combinations. It’s like dressing a pizza.
FAQ’s
No this is not necessary. The skin is edible. It can be a little on the tough side if the eggplant is large.
This is a personal preference. I used seasoned oil instead of salt.
I will say, even though I did not grow up eating eggplant, my curiosity paid off. So glad I experimented with this tasty vegetable.
