This Perfect Roasted Eggplant Recipe brings out the natural sweetness and smoky flavor of eggplants. Roasting gives the eggplant a creamy interior with a slightly crisp, golden-brown skin. It’s a versatile dish that can be served as a side, added to salads, blended into dips, or enjoyed on its own with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh herbs.
Wash and dry the eggplants. Cut them into medium-sized pieces (slices or cubes).
Place the cut eggplants into a separate bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly coated.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned eggplant pieces evenly on the tray.
Preheat oven to 220°C for 15 minutes.
Place the tray in the oven and roast for 25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden brown and tender.
Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve warm.
