Spray the eggplant with olive oil spray and cook, in batches, for 2-3 mins or until light golden and tender. Sprinkle with half the spice mix. Arrange the eggplant over the base of an 8-cup (2L) baking dish. Top with the sausages.
Finely chop half the parsley leaves. Spray the frying pan with olive oil spray. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until aromatic.
