Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the eggplant into 1-inch thick rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and lightly browned.

While the eggplant is roasting, prepare the garlic sauce. Peel the garlic cloves and mince them in a food processor or garlic press. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
3
Add the chopped parsley and basil to the saucepan and sauté for another minute, or until the herbs are fragrant and slightly wilted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4
To assemble the dish, place the roasted eggplant slices on a serving plate or platter. Spoon the garlic sauce over the eggplant and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy!
