Oven Roasted Eggplant
Oven Roasted Eggplant entails cubing globe eggplant and tossing it with extra-virgin olive oil and sea salt before roasting at a high temperature. The roasting process softens the eggplant while browning its edges, offering a tender interior and slightly caramelized exterior. This simple method enhances the eggplant's natural flavors with minimal seasoning, suitable as a side dish or for use in other recipes.
