Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with little oil. Arrange the eggplant slices in the baking sheet. Brush them generously with olive oil. Sprinkle fresh thyme sprigs along with salt and pepper over the eggplant slices. Grill in the oven or grill pan till eggplant is soft, cooked and charred marks appear on the slices.
