Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the marinara sauce, lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt, and cinnamon.

- Roast the eggplant wedges until fully cooked, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with the parsley, mint, feta, and lemon zest, and serve.
