• On to a baking sheet, lay out the eggplant rounds and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Following the same steps, salt and pepper the tomato rounds. Set aside and let sit for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 475°F. Using a pastry brush or paper towel, spread a thin layer of olive oil on both sides of the eggplant. Cook for 20 minutes.
