Cooking Video: How to Broil Eggplant

Broiled eggplant cutlets can be a light entree on their own, or, you can use this cooking method to prepare the eggplant when using it another recipe, such as baba ganoush or eggplant ratatouille. Because of it's soft and spongy texture, eggplant lends well to broiling, rather than frying or sauteeing, as it tends to absorb any oil that it is cooked in. That means that if you fry eggplant, you'll likely end up with a dish that is very high in fat. So, next time you have a recipe that calls for cooked eggplant, try using this method to broil eggplant. I really like the combination of garlic and eggplant, so I might use garlic salt or add a sprinkle of garlic powder when broiling eggplant.
