Advice

plant

When making baked eggplant, it's important to choose the right eggplant. Look for eggplants that are firm and heavy for their size. Avoid any that have soft spots or wrinkles. Before baking, make sure to cut the eggplant into slices, then brush each slice with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Finally, bake the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper at 375°F for 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through. This will ensure the eggplant is cooked through and has a delicious crispy texture.
