Of course, you can also grill them in the oven. This is the authentic way of making this recipe, it gives it a smoky flavor, but you can roast the eggplants any way you like.

Oh, that makes perfect sense. I’ll just opt for several smaller ones, rather than two big ones. Thanks!

I know about the salting method but I never had any issues with bitter eggplants. I always choose them small or medium-sized, with a rather small diameter. This way they have fewer seeds and are not bitter at all. Try choosing younger eggplants and simply roast them without the salting method. I never had any issues with them.

Do you have issues with your eggplant being to bitter? It happened to me once. I was advised to salt it up and leave for a while, but I should avoid salt, so this is not an option for me.
