Bake the eggplant. Place the eggplant in the oven and bake it until the inside is creamy and the edges and surface have turned brown and crispy, about 20 minutes. If you'd like cheesy eggplant, remove it from the oven and sprinkle it with Parmesan, cheddar, or goat cheese.
Cut the eggplant into the slices or cubes called for in a recipe. Arrange the pieces in a single layer, skin-side down, on a cutting board or plate. Sprinkle salt over the eggplant slices and set aside for at least 30 minutes. The salt will draw the bitter-tasting liquid out of the eggplant flesh. Wipe the surface of the eggplant with paper toweling to remove the liquid. If desired, rinse the eggplant under cool water to remove the salt.
