Almost Oil Free Pan Fried Eggplant

Recipe ⬇️⬇️⬇️ or PRINT: https://www.recipetineats.com/almost-no-oil-pan-fried-eggplant/

Eggplants are hungry little oil suckers. So here’s how I cook them on the stove, using virtually NO OIL! I basically cook them the same way I do Asian dumplings - seared then pan-steamed. So you just need to spray them with oil before cooking in a dry pan. Works a treat, super fast, and ultra healthy.

It's also a great method to cook thick slabs of eggplant on the stove without burning the surface.

See the post for a full list and details for all the different ways to serve pan fried eggplant shown in the video.
