Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Eggplant
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplant several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during roasting. Place the eggplant on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 2
Roast the Eggplant
Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is very soft. Turn the eggplant halfway through cooking for even roasting.
- 3
Cool and Scoop
Once the eggplant is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Cut it open and scoop out the soft flesh into a mixing bowl, discarding the skin.
