Instructions:

Set the microwave temperature to 400 °F.
Cut the zucchini and eggplant into 1/2-inch-thick slices lengthwise.
On a sizable baking pan, spread the zucchini and eggplant. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil (eggplants love to soak up the oil!). Add pepper to it.
microwave it for almost a few minutes with the eggplant and zucchini.
As the veggies are cooking, get your filling ready.

Filling:

Add olive oil in a large pan and heat it overheat.
When the onion is transparent, add it to the pan and cook it perfectly.
Cook the minced garlic for one minute, or until it becomes aromatic.
Add the tomato paste, clove, oregano, and cinnamon to the pan.
Stir in a tiny quantity of the béchamel sauce to the filling just before assembling the moussaka.
It will remain together thanks to this. It’s about three to five tablespoons, but I don’t usually measure this.
Grease the baking dish very lightly. A tiny bit of filling should be added to the pan’s bottom with a slotted spoon to flavor our veggies.
Arrange the eggplants in the baking dish in the first layout.
