Question

Can you bake eggplant and mozzarella together at the same time?

Community Answer

If you try to bake a slab of eggplant with mozzarella on it, the mozzarella will burn before the eggplant cooks. You can bake them together, but either cut the eggplant very thin or put the mozzarella on after the eggplant cooks a little while.

Question

I can't salt foods because of health challenges, so how else can the water come out?

Community Answer

You can put the slices in the microwave on a towel, then press out the remaining water with a flat pan.

Question

Can I make eggplant Parmesan with the baked slices?

Community Answer

Yes, but don't delay. The eggplant, like a peach or banana, oxidizes when cut and will turn brown to grey. You could try lemon juice or "fruit fresh," but that would change the outcome.

Question

Can I use regular salt if I don't have sea salt?

Community Answer

Yes, you can. It's just not considered to be as healthy as sea salt but it works just the same.

Question

How do I draw moisture out of eggplant without salt or a microwave?

Community Answer

You can try a dehydrator. Monitor the progress. Too long will result in eggplant chips.

Question

Do I cover eggplant while baking?

Catalina Garay

Community Answer

You could, but if you do, the eggplant will keep its water, change its color and it may not look as eye-catching as in the images. The result may be a soft, shapeless eggplant.

Question

Do I cover the eggplant with foil while baking?

Community Answer

If you do so, it will be very moist. If you prefer a slightly crisper version, then bake it uncovered. If you have this, use the pizza setting on your oven.
