How To Make roasted egplant (vegetarian)

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with foil

Step 2

Pour olive oil onto baking sheet
Step 3

add garlic,onions and black pepper to oil in pan
Step 4

put cubed eggplant on baking sheet,roll around in oil until well coated.
Step 5

eggplant is like a sponge and will soak up all of the olive oil so you may need to add more.
Step 6

The reason I say to add the salt later is because salt will pull out the liquid in the eggplant and you don't want to do this. You want the eggplant moist.
Step 7

bake for 30 minutes at 350* or until soft
Step 8

pour mixture into a large bowl and mash with a fork or leave it the way it is and pour over pasta
Step 9

serve as a side dish or over pasta for a vegetarian meal
