And speaking of the garlic butter sauce, don’t be shy about using plenty of garlic! The more garlic, the better, in my opinion. I like to use fresh garlic, but you can also use garlic powder if you’re short on time. Just be sure to adjust the amount accordingly.

📖Why My Recipe Works
- Brine Method- While many cooking websites say that salting, or brining the eggplant, isn't necessary because modern eggplants are less bitter I just don't agree. I find the salt improves both the flavor and texture.
- Quick and Easy- There are so many delicious ways to make eggplant, but cutting them into slices is perfect for a variety of applications and is much faster than cubes or whole eggplant.
