Set the oven to 400 degrees. Slice the Eggplant in half and score the back of each half with an X. If you wish, you can thin slice garlic and shove the pieces into the slits of the X. Rub the flat side with a high heat oil and generously sprinkle with salt. Let her roast for at least 30 minutes.
Mmmm sweet juicy eggplant : ) At this point you should be able to poke the eggplant and feel how soft it is.
Flip em over.. and bask in the glory. Those aren't burn marks baby, that's caramelized eggplant and it's going to add a sweet depth of flavor to your dish and is guaranteed to make you a happy cook.
At this point I usually let them cool before separating the flesh from the skin. This is a great addition to pasta sauce, spreads, flat breads and sandwiches.
