Please Note:

It’s important to let the salted eggplant slices sit for approximately 1 hour. Because, this lets them dry out before baking. Otherwise, they might turn out soft instead of crusty. In addition to that, the slices need to be thin, otherwise you’ll need to bake them for longer period. 

Also, each one of the herbs is optional. You can either skip it or replace with another one, according to your preferences. For example, you can add powdered garlic or onion. You can also add grated Parmesan. In order to do so, sprinkle it on top of the eggplants around 3-4 minutes before taking them out of the oven.
