HOW TO COOK EGGPLANT: OVEN ROASTED EGGPLANT RECIPE

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.

CHEESY EGGPLANT BAKE

Steps:

• Cut the eggplants into 1cm slices. Lay them in a single layer on a baking tray, and spray each side lightly with oil. Roast at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) for around 30 minutes, turning them over halfway. They should be fairly soft but not overly crispy.
• Add a spoonful of tomato sauce to the bottom of a baking dish (mine was a 6 inch circle, but anything similar will be fine), and spread it around. Layer up the slices of roasted eggplant, the grated cheddar and the fresh mozzarella with the remaining tomato sauce. I made 3 layers of each in total, but it doesn't really matter. Top the dish with any remaining cheese, and the breadcrumbs.
• Return to the oven for a further 30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and crispy, and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.

SIMPLY BAKED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)

Steps:

• Slice the eggplant into medium-thin slices (*not paper thin, but not thick either*).
• Mix the cornmeal and flour and lots of pepper for taste, so that the mix looks speckled thickly.
• Add sliced eggplant to flour mix and coat both sides well. Do this with about 10 slices (or more if really hungry).
• Spray the bottom of a long casserole dish(or pan) with some fat free pan spray.
• Lay the battered eggplant slices into single layers in dish/pan.
• Cut some slices of eggplant into fourths. Don't dip these into the batter, just lay these on the other side of the casserole dish.
• Bake at 400-425 for about 20-25 minutes, being sure to flip the eggplant slices over halfway through.
• Heat up the Tomato, Garlic, Onion Ragu spaghetti sauce(best for this recipe), or pizza sauce, or any type of spaghetti sauce, but one with tomatoes if possible, in a bowl in microwave until hot. Use this as a "dip".
• But I think the simply baked eggplant is good plain, too.
• (I alternate eating the non-battered, then take a bite of the battered slices, yummy! This kind of tastes like fried green tomatoes).
