- 1.
- Preheat oven to 450 F. Arrange the eggplant slices on an oiled baking dish.
- Mist the top of the eggplant with some cooking spray.
- I use olive oil cooking spray but you can also use an oil mister if you have one.
- I dont recommend adding olive oil directly to the eggplant because eggplant tends to soak up oil like a sponge.
- Just a spray is enough.
- Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.

- Taste to see if you want to add salt or pepper.
