Preparation method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C
- Wash the eggplants well and dry them completely
- Remove the stems and cut the eggplants in half, separating the thinner part from the thicker part
- Cut these halves lengthwise again
- Slice the thinner part into half-moons about 1 cm thick
- Divide the thicker part into two strips and chop them into 1 cm pieces to maintain uniform cooking
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, vegetable oil, cumin, salt, and pepper
- Arrange the eggplant pieces on a large baking sheet
- Pour the liquid seasoning over the vegetable and mix carefully with your hands so that all pieces are well coated
- Bake for approximately 40 minutes
- Turn the pieces with a spatula halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly
- Remove when they are tender and lightly golden
- Serve immediately
Observations
The secret to this preparation lies in the uniform cutting of the vegetables, ensuring they all become tender and golden at the same time. The combination of olive oil and cumin creates an irresistible aroma while baking.
