i started roasting thick slices of eggplant with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, & garlic when i started having issues with some dietary restrictions. (like fried food. stupid pancreas.) yours looks good.
While frying it I was considering baking it next time, perhaps with a bit of vegan mozzarella on top.
Fried eggplant. Brings back memories.
Ahh, the eggplant days... I actually understand. When I cook certain dishes I’m transported back to my grandmothers house in Brooklyn.
@ArdentAtheist My late partner was Iranian and eggplant is a staple of their diet. Be sure to slice it and salt the slices for a while then rinse off the salt. This gets rid of any bitterness.
