Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and score the flesh in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin.

  3. Place the eggplant halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.

  4. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the cut sides of the eggplants.

  5. Roast the eggplants in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and lightly browned.

  6. While the eggplants are roasting, prepare the cherry tomatoes. Place them in a bowl and drizzle with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.

  7. Once the eggplants are done, remove them from the oven and top each half with the seasoned cherry tomatoes.

  8. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the tomatoes.

  9. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the feta is slightly melted and the tomatoes are softened.

  10. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
