  • Slice the eggplants evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • Salt the eggplants: Salting the eggplants before cooking helps to draw out the bitterness. Sprinkle the eggplant slices with salt and let them sit for 30 minutes. Then, rinse the eggplants off and pat them dry.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so use a good quality oil that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Layer the eggplants and sauce: In a baking dish, layer the eggplant slices with the tomato sauce. Repeat layers until all of the ingredients have been used.
  • Bake the eggplant: Bake the eggplant in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until the eggplants are tender and the sauce is bubbly.
