  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and prepare a baking tray with vegetable spray or olive oil.
  • Cut the eggplants in half and, using a sharp knife, make scores to create a diamond or crosshatch pattern.
  • Add salt and let sit for half an hour so the salt can absorb the moisture from the eggplants.
  • Squeeze the eggplants to remove excess water and dry them with paper towels.
  • Drizzle a little olive oil on the flesh side of the eggplant and place them on thyme sprigs, cut side down, on the baking tray.
  • Bake for 1 hour.
  • Serve with a vinaigrette of olive oil, lemon, and salt.
