Report
Introducing your new go-to side dish: sauteed eggplant! This foolproof recipe turns eggplant into a rich, caramelized, melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece (all in just 15 minutes!). Plus, it’s endlessly customizable—toss it with your favorite herbs, spices, or sauces to make it your own!

Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant about 1 lb
- 2 Tbsp oil 30 mL
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 to 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional: lemon zest, Parmesan, parsley
Instructions
- Prep: Cut eggplant into ½ to 1-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, toss together eggplant, oil, and pepper.
- Sauté: Add eggplant to a large non-stick sauté pan and cook over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until the eggplant is golden brown and a bit crispy, 10 to 15 minutes (do not over stir—this could make your eggplant mushy!).
- Flavor: Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and gently stir in salt.
- Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with lemon zest, grated Parmesan, and/or parsley.
Notes
- Storage: Sauteed eggplant can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to eat, reheat on the stovetop (preferred), in the air fryer, or in the microwave.
- Should you peel your eggplant? I prefer to leave the peel on, which helps the eggplant retain its shape better while sautéing (plus, the skin is filled with fiber and antioxidants!).
