Preparation of Eggplant

Roast the Eggplant
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and place them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.

Cool and Scoop
Once roasted, remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool for about 10-15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh out of the skin and place it in a mixing bowl.
