Notes
Meal Prep and Storage
- To Prep-Ahead: It's best if you don't cut the eggplant until just before roasting, otherwise it will turn brown.
- To Store: Once cooked, place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- To Freeze: While you can keep in the freezer for up to 3-4 months, it will change texture slightly.
- To Reheat: Warm leftovers in the oven or air fryer at 350° until heated through. You can also microwave, but it will be a bit mushy.
