Roasted Aubergine Slices with Smoked Paprika

Want to try a different way of eating aubergine? I tested this recipe and the combination of the seasonings surprised me!

Ingredients

• 1 aubergine cut into slices similar to chips (see photo below)
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, crushed and mashed
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme (substitute oregano if you don’t have any)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C
2. Cut the ends off the aubergine and then into thick slices so that it looks like a chip slice

3. Mix all the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and mix the aubergine slices until they are coated

4. Arrange on a baking tray; if you prefer, you can line it with foil or baking paper so it doesn’t stick

5. Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until the slices start to become toasted
