  1. Preheat the oven or grill to 180°C.
  2. Arrange the aubergine slices on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil on both sides.
  3. Score the cut side of each aubergine in a criss-cross pattern, then spread over the teriyaki paste, ensuring each slice is well coated.
  4. Cook for 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until soft, sticky and lightly caramelised.
