Whole baked eggplants, a very light and versatile basic recipe. You can use the eggplants cooked in this way to unleash your creativity in many dishes: you can make side dishes, appetizers, main courses, and first courses.
When I cook eggplants this way, I often prepare Eggplant Balls, the spreadable cream on crostini, or baba ganoush. They are also delicious just cut into strips and seasoned with oil and garlic for a quick summer side.
It’s an extremely easy recipe that you can also prepare in the air fryer, saving a lot of time.

How to Prepare Whole Baked Eggplants
Preheat the oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wash the eggplants and prick them with the tip of a knife.
