Olive oil, salt and pepper, the roast like any other vegetable. Delicious when it browns

I also love baba ghanoush, but haven’t been happy with what I’ve made at home.

I’ve made that Cookie and Kate recipe and it was a hit at our house!

We slice, brush with olive oil, add salt and bake on 425 (total maybe 20-30 mins, flip once). Amazing when done right. Can be eaten on its own, or with pita and hummus, or on salad, or as a veggie side for fish or grilled meat. Super easy you just have to learn to not over or undercook.

I always wondered what happens to used vegetables. Do they get washed and eaten or thrown away?

Harissa and olive oil. Toss in the eggplant and bake. Delicious.

This, and then layer with sauce and mozzarella cheese and more eggplant. Instant eggplant lasagna, or individual eggplant pizzas.

I made Bobby Flay's grilled ratatouille last week, and it was good. Don't undercook the eggplant though, I had to put it back on the grill.

Also I really like this dip and use sesame oil instead of tahini. https://www.marthastewart.com/336468/roasted-eggplant-dip

I stir fry it and add other veggies for Thai curry.

The important question is if they are Asian eggplants or the bigger ones used in European and Middle Eastern cooking.

If the latter- do Imam Bayildi. It's an amazing Turkish dish.

OP here. Thanks for all of the ideas and suggestions! I look forward to buying some next week and trying something new.

Cube it, roast with olive oil, some salt and pepper. Then, when it's ready, take out of the oven and add minced garlic and chopped parsley or dill.

Smitten Kitchen has a farro and eggplant recipe that's good, but if you make it, I recommend leaving out the mozzarella cheese. It makes the dish too heavy.
