### 👩🍳 **Instructions**
1. **Prepare the eggplant**
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange eggplant slices on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly browned.
2. **Layer the lasagna**
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Add a layer of roasted eggplant slices, then dollops of ricotta cheese, a sprinkle of garlic, and a generous layer of mozzarella. Repeat the layers, finishing with sauce and a topping of Parmesan and mozzarella.
3. **Bake**
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
4. **Garnish and serve**
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
