Not every housewife will be able to bake eggplants deliciously, since this vegetable requires a special approach.

If you approach the cooking process incorrectly, the product may remain raw or end up overdried.

However, baking is worth trying anyway, as you can prepare a delicious dish without excess oil.

Excess moisture makes eggplants tasteless.

Choosing a vegetable

You shouldn't buy large and plump vegetables for baking. On the contrary, it's better to choose small narrow eggplants with beautiful skin.

They can be baked not only in slices, but also in halves.

Special oil

It is important to treat not only the baking tray with oil, but also the eggplants themselves. The baking tray is doused with regular vegetable oil. But for eggplants, you can try.

Vegetable oil mixed with granulated garlic, paprika powder and a little rosemary. This aromatic oil will transform the taste of baked eggplant.
