Preparation Steps

Roast the Eggplant
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh with a knife. Place the eggplant halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.

Char the Green Onions
While the eggplant is roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green onions and char them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are tender and have grill marks. Remove from heat and let cool.
