Chef's Note
Roasted eggplant is one of those recipes that looks fancy but is actually incredibly simple. I learned this technique from a chef friend who insisted that the key is cutting the eggplant into larger chunks rather than thin slices. The result is a beautiful caramelization on the outside while staying tender inside. Perfect as a side dish or tossed with pasta.
