Rinse the eggplant slices and pat dry with paper towels.

Chop the broccoli into florets and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggplant, sweet potatoes, and broccoli.

Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and add minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika; toss to coat evenly.

Spread the vegetable mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Place mackerel fillets on top of the vegetables and season with cumin and red pepper flakes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the mackerel is cooked through.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Serve hot, with additional lemon wedges on the side.
