Eggplants are one of my favorite things about end of summer produce — I always buy way too many at the store, and then… don’t really know what to do with them. That was before I discovered THIS incredible stuff-and-roast technique, shown in the video above. It’s the perfect party recipe because everyone can build their own, and it’s a vegetarian dish that is hearty enough to be a main course. Watch the video for the technique, then keep scrolling for the recipe.
