1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Slice eggplant into 12 1/2-inch pieces. Line them up on a cookie cooling rack and sprinkle generously with salt. Cover with a large sheet pan to press them down. Let them sit for 30 minutes while the oven preheats. This step is optional, but does draw out some moisture and bitterness in the eggplant so keep that in mind. I don't mind doing this, since it only takes about 10 minutes longer than the oven takes to preheat, plus it's all hands-off.
3. Wipe the eggplant with paper towels to get rid of all excess moisture. Transfer the eggplant slices to a large baking sheet. Use a pastry brush to brush the eggplant on both sides with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
4. While the eggplant roasts, add parmesan, breadcrumbs, and remaining olive oil to a small bowl. Toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using a vegetable peeler, remove skin from rounded side of each eggplant half, leaving a 1" strip of skin around the cut edges. Drizzle a rimmed baking sheet with 1/4 cup of olive oil. Place eggplant halves, whole garlic cloves and oregano sprigs on a rimmed baking sheet. Turn eggplant to coat with oil, season with Lo-Salt and pepper and place cut side down. Cover baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake until eggplants are very soft (40-45 minutes).
2. While the eggplant is baking, prepare the sauce. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown. 4-6 minutes. Add chopped garlic and chile flakes, stir and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste, cook until beginning to darken, about 2 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and add about 1/4 teaspoon of LoSalt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, lower heat and continue to cook until slightly thickened, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and set sauce aside.
