the recipe that made me love eggplant ✨ Mediterranean roasted eggplant with burst cherry tomatoes and herbs It’s inspired by the flavors of Sicilian Caponata, but instead of cooking the eggplant on the stovetop, we’re roasting it for a somewhat smoky flavor! A few eggplant cooking tips: ✅ Salting and soaking the eggplant helps remove bitterness and prevents the eggplant from soaking up an excessive amount of oil. ✅ Look for eggplants (Italian eggplants or globe eggplants work great) with glossy skin, free of soft spots. The outside of the eggplant should be firm but give slightly when pressed. ✅ Try to keep the eggplant moist in the oven- if it looks like it’s drying out, add a drizzle or two of extra olive oil. I hope you love this recipe as much as I do- Happy cooking!
