4. Arrange the eggplant slices on the baking sheets, and spray them with the cooking oil spray.
5. Combine the wheat germ, oregano, and garlic in a shaker-type jar.
6. Shake about half of the wheat germ mix onto the eggplant.
7. Bake the eggplant for 10 minutes or until barely browned.
8. Remove the pan from the oven, turn the eggplant slices over, and sprinkle them with the remaining seasoning mix.
9. Add salt and pepper to taste.
