Ingredients:
- 500g Globe or Italian eggplants, cubed
- 6g Kosher salt
- 45ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 20g Garlic, finely minced
- 3g Dried oregano or thyme
- 3g Black pepper
- 3g Salt
Instructions:
- Cut the eggplant into 1-inch uniform cubes. Toss them in a bowl with 6g of salt and let them sit for 10–15 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Rinse the eggplant cubes under cold water in a colander to remove excess salt.
- Pat the cubes thoroughly dry with a paper towel to ensure they roast instead of steam.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried herbs, pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Add the dried eggplant cubes to the garlic oil and toss gently until every cube is evenly coated.
- Spread the eggplant on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring at least 1/2 inch of space between cubes.
- Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping the cubes once halfway through the cooking time.
