  4. Serve immediately with finely chopped fresh herbs and a sprinkle of salt, to taste. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To Prep-Ahead: It's best if you don't cut the eggplant until just before roasting, otherwise it will turn brown.
  • To Store: Once cooked, place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
  • To Freeze: While you can keep in the freezer for up to 3-4 months, it will change texture slightly.
  • To Reheat: Warm leftovers in the oven or air fryer at 350° until heated through. You can also microwave, but it will be a bit mushy.
