Categories     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 medium Eggplant ((~1 lb each))
1/4 cup Olive oil
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/4 tsp Black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
  • Slice the eggplant crosswise to make circles, about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. Cut off the leafy end only after you are done slicing, so that you'll have more to grab onto as you slice.
  • Arrange the eggplant slices on an extra large baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Flip and repeat the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
  • Roast the eggplant slices in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, until soft and golden.

ROASTED EGGPLANT



Roasted Eggplant image

This is the first step in most of my eggplant recipes. Large globe eggplants take from 20 to 25 minutes, depending on how plump they are. Small narrow eggplants like Japanese eggplants take about 15. The roasted eggplant is fragrant and delicate; if you need it to hold its shape in the recipe, roast for a shorter time, just until you see the skin beginning to wrinkle.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 eggplant
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Cut the stem and calyx off the eggplant, and cut in half lengthwise. Score large eggplants down the middle with the tip of a knife, being careful not to cut through the skin. (Japanese eggplants and other small eggplants needn't be scored.)
  • Cover a baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with extra virgin olive oil. Place the eggplant on the foil, cut side down. Place in the oven and roast large, fat eggplants for 20 to 25 minutes (depending on the size). Roast small narrow Japanese eggplants (and other varieties) for 15 minutes, or until the skin has begun to shrivel, the edges and cut surface are browned, and the eggplant has softened but it hasn't collapsed.
  • Remove from the oven and use a spatula to detach from the foil if the eggplant is sticking (if a thin surface of browned eggplant stays behind, don't worry). Place the eggplant halves cut side down on a rack set over a baking sheet, or in a colander. Allow to cool and drain for 15 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant: Look for eggplants that are firm and have smooth, shiny skin. Avoid eggplants that are bruised or have wrinkles.
  • Cut the eggplant properly: To prevent the eggplant from absorbing too much oil, cut it into 1-inch cubes or slices. You can also score the eggplant flesh before roasting to help it cook more evenly.
  • Roast the eggplant at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the eggplant and give it a smoky flavor. Roast the eggplant at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Eggplant is a versatile vegetable that can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Try using garlic, cumin, paprika, thyme, or oregano. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to brighten up the flavor.
  • Serve the eggplant as a side dish or main course: Roasted eggplant can be served as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish, or it can be used as a main course in a vegetarian or vegan dish. You can also add it to salads, sandwiches, or wraps.

Conclusion:

Roasted eggplant is a delicious and versatile side dish or main course that is easy to make. With its smoky flavor and tender texture, roasted eggplant is a great way to enjoy this healthy vegetable.
