Preparation method
- Preheat oven to 220 ºC

- 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 cooking uniformity
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with the vegetable oil, cumin, salt, and pepper
- Arrange the eggplant slices on a spacious baking sheet
- Pour the liquid seasoning over the vegetable and carefully mix with your hands so all pieces are well coated
- Bake for approximately 40 minutes
- Flip the pieces with the help of a spatula halfway through to ensure even browning
- Remove when tender and lightly golden
- Serve immediately
Observations
The secret to this preparation lies in the uniform cut of the vegetables, which ensures they all become tender and golden at the same time. The combination of olive oil with cumin creates an irresistible aroma during cooking.
