1 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce (we used Henderson's Relish)

½ large aubergine , cut in half lengthways, then cut into long strips about 3mm thick (use a mandoline if you have one)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 120C/100C fan/gas 1 and line two roasting trays with baking parchment.
  • Mix together the oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika and ground cumin. Lay the aubergine slices on the roasting trays and brush both sides with the spice mixture.
