Season everything with agave syrup, salt, pepper, and oregano. Slice or grate the eggplant into approximately 5 mm thick slices. Fry the slices in olive oil on both sides until golden brown, or bake for a few minutes in the oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat). Let the eggplant cool briefly, then spread with vegan cream cheese, season with salt, sprinkle with chili flakes, and roll up. Arrange everything on plates and serve with sesame seeds, herbs, and chili flakes.
