Prepare the confit eggplants: preheat the oven to 180 °C. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the slices of eggplant and brush with olive oil.

2

Season with fine salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. The eggplants should be tender. Let cool slightly.
