I roasted an eggplant last week, it had been in the fridge too long so had to cut spots out of it. So instead of like you are doing, the way the recipe said, I put in a nonstick square pan, pricked a couple places. It worked fine.

The stuff looked so slimy and gross. I wanted mine peeled so did that. Went on to make my eggplant hummus. The food processor ground everything, even the seeds. You really can't taste it in the hummus but it's so good for you.

I like the flavor of eggplant, but I admit that it doesn’t have much, on its own.

I should have remembered to tell folks to try and get a male eggplant if possible - it has fewer seeds and is less bitter than the female.

Here’s how to tell the male from the seedy female:
