How To Make Oven-Fried Eggplant

The first step to roasting eggplant is to wash the eggplants, after washing them clean, slice them into a thin circle. If your slices are thinner, you’ll get more caramelized edges on your eggplants, it actually saves baking time too.

Next up, you need to arrange the eggplant on a baking sheet, after laying all the eggplants in the baking sheet, get some olive oil and sprinkle a little on them. Also, sprinkle some garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

Flip over the eggplant slices and repeat the oiling and seasoning process on the fresh side.

The next thing to do is to roast eggplant, place the baking sheet inside the oven and roast and roast for about 30-45 minutes. They should become quite soft and golden.

The final thing to do would be to serve your roasted eggplant slices. This is surely one of the best tasty eggplant recipes.

Can I Put Oven Roasted Eggplant Slices In The Freezer?

Yes, you can. The eggplant slices would freeze well. But after cooking them in your oven, allow the eggplant to cool before keeping them in the freezer. And of course, don’t place the eggplant in the freezer without putting it inside an airtight container. If you place them in the fridge without covering them up, the moist from the fridge will ruin your delicious eggplants.

After freezing the eggplants, if you want to eat it, bring it out of the fridge and allow it to defrost, after this, microwave it until it becomes all hot and oily.

How To Store Oven Roasted Eggplants

Like I said previously, you can store them in the freezer, but how long can your eggplants last in the fridge before becoming uneatable? I’d say 3-6 days. Anything more and you might not like the taste of the eggplants, or they won’t be as fresh as there were.

The second tip is, store your eggplants in an airtight container. You can place them on top of each other while placing them in an airtight container.

Best Dishes To Go With These Roasted Eggplants
