Ingredients:

Serving

5 cups water
2 1/2 tbsp sea salt
2 lb eggplant (about 2 medium), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 tbsp (or more) olive oil
2 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
pomegranate molasses* (for drizzling )
2/3 cup pomegranate seeds
1/4 cup cilantro leaves

Directions:

Stir 5 cups water and 2 1/2 tablespoons sea salt in large bowl to dissolve salt. Add eggplant slices. Place plate on eggplant to submerge; let soak 1 hour. Drain eggplant; pat dry.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sauté eggplant until brown in spots and softened, 2 minutes per side.

Mix cumin and cayenne. Sprinkle eggplant with cumin mixture. Roast until golden and cooked through, 30 minutes.
