Roasted Spicy Garlic Eggplant Slices

These spicy garlic eggplant slices are amazing! Roasted in the oven to perfection, they are so full of flavor and delicious!

If I’m eating an eggplant, it just has to be a garlic eggplant! Eggplant without garlic is just not the right eggplant in my book 🙂

This incredible eggplant is not just a garlic eggplant, it’s a SPICY garlic eggplant – mmmmmm! It’s so hearty, so filling, so yummy, so garlicky, so spicy, you’ll just keep reaching for more and more and more!

One amazing thing about eggplant is how filling it is.  It’s like a vegan meat 🙂 Even though eggplant is pretty light in calories, it just gives you this “stuffed” feeling.  If you have this spicy garlic eggplant with a bowl of rice, it would feel like a complete meal!  Of course, you can serve it as a vegetable side dish too or as an appetizer – this eggplant dish is so versatile!
