How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Slice the eggplant into approximately 1cm (0.4 inch) thick slices. Cut each piece into quarters and scatter over the prepared baking tray. Drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil and season with ½ teaspoon of salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the eggplant from the oven and set it aside. Add the Brussels sprouts to the same baking tray and drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining sea salt. Bake for another 20 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and cool.
Step 3
Roughly chop the lettuce and spinach. Finely chop the spring onion. Peel and finely chop the onion. Slice the cherry tomatoes. Add to a bowl and toss to combine.
Step 4
Add the prepared eggplant and Brussels sprouts. Add the remaining olive oil, vinegar, and garlic. Mix well to combine.
Step 5
Transfer to serving bowls. Optionally, add more salt or adjust the seasoning according to taste. Garnish with lemon and serve.
