- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Slice the aubergines in half lengthwise and score the flesh in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously over the cut sides of the aubergines, ensuring it seeps into the scored flesh.
Step 5
Place the aubergines cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Roast the aubergines in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and golden brown.
Step 7
Remove the aubergines from the oven and sprinkle them with fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
Step 8
Serve the roasted aubergines warm as a side dish or a main dish for a light paleo meal.
