Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place eggplants in a large bowl. Add oil; toss to coat. Spread in a single layer on baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until tender, stirring once.

Coat a skillet with nonstick cooking spray; place over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion and garlic to skillet. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until beef is no longer pink; drain fat. Add tomatoes, oregano and cinnamon. Cook 5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
