What are the best tips for cooking eggplant?

Salt slices 30 min to draw out bitterness and moisture. It absorbs oil like a sponge — don't be shy, but expect it.

How do you roast (cubed) eggplant?

Roast (cubed) at 30–20 min. Toss with oil. Should be creamy inside.

Roast (whole) at 45–32 min. Poke holes. Scoop flesh for baba ganoush.

Grill at 4–5 min/side. ½″ slices. Oil both sides.

Sauté at 6–8 min. Cubed. Will absorb oil — add more as needed.

Air Fry at 16–13 min. Shake halfway. Uses less oil.
