Notes

  • The roasting — Compared to regular eggplant, Graffiti eggplant has a tender skin, and as a result, it tends to burn quickly. Keep a close eye on the eggplant and make sure to remove it from the heat once it is golden brown
 
  • The eggplant — Because of its tender skin, when it comes to using oil, the best approach would be a minimal one. Try not to go overboard with the oils and sauces, as your eggplant might end up becoming soggy.
