1. Bake it.
Cut the eggplant into strips and bake them; or slice into rounds, add a breaded or spiced coating, and bake for the beginning of eggplant Parmesan or a simple side dish.
2. Mash into a dip.
Once cooked, the eggplant flesh can be scooped out and easily mashed or pureed into a dip. It has a thick, creamy texture, with a smoky flavor that makes it totally delicious.
3. Roast it.
This is one of the simplest, and in my opinion, most delicious ways to cook eggplant. All you need is a hot oven, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to transform eggplant into a soft, rich, charred, and smoky treat. Cut it into pieces and eat as is, or mix it into a salad or pasta.

4. Toss it with pasta.
Give it a quick roast or sauté first, then toss cubed eggplant with penne or spaghetti, or even layer it in a lasagna. One thing is certain — eggplant definitely has a place in your pasta dinner.
There are so many ways that one can incorporate this into any meal. It truly is perfect as it can be used as everything from a garnish to a hearty part of the meal.
