    Baked brinjal (baked eggplant) - an easy oven-roasted eggplants recipe with Indian spices. This will be a very good side dish for rice or as a snack.

    baked brinjal - baked eggplant

    As a child, I used to hate brinjal. But suddenly started liking it more from past few years.

    And among all brinjal recipes which we make at home, brinjal chutney is my most favorite.

    Whenever my mom makes it, I will save some chutney in the refrigerator and eat it the next day. It’s so delicious and we can eat it not only with rice but also with roti, bakri or dosa.

    You can even make a smooth paste of leftover brinjal chutney and use it as a sandwich spread.

    After eggplant chutney, this baked eggplant is my next favorite. It’s so easy to make and these will taste delicious.

    Sometimes we don’t need many ingredients to make a delicious dish and this is a perfect example. Just roast the brinjals with few herbs, oil and you are done.

    You can also pan roast the brinjals to make this recipe without an oven. I love baking as it is hands-free cooking and one can utilize that time for other things.

    You can use any oil for making this baked aubergine. I generally use coconut oil for baking but today I have used olive oil as I don’t have coconut oil in my pantry.

    This recipe calls for dried thyme and oregano but you can experiment with other spices as well.

    This baked brinjal is...

    • a vegan and gluten-free dish.
    • simple to make and taste delicious.
    • a good side dish for Sambar rice, curd rice, Pongal or any rice dish.
    • good to eat as it is or as a quick snack.

    So make it and enjoy the dish!

      Baking stuffed eggplants is lovely Sravanthi. It's gives a meaty flavour to the eggplants.
