If there's any left over, blend it with a little lemon, garlic, and salt and you've got a tasty baba ghanoush. Step 1: Clean the grill Clean the grill. For a charcoal grill, light some coals; with a gas grill, set it on high and close the lid. After about 20 minutes, let the grill cool. Then scrape off the burnt-on bits with a steel brush, and end by wiping down the grill with a clean cloth soaked in vegetable oil. Step 2: Heat the grill Heat a gas or electric grill to medium. If it's a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are ash-colored. Step 3: Cut the eggplant Rinse the eggplant and then cut it in half lengthwise. If it's large, cut it like you would a loaf of bread, into half-inch thick slices. Tip Some cooks swear by the fact that "male" eggplants are less bitter than "female" eggplants. To find a male, look at the indentation at the bottom; if it's shallow and round, it's male. A deep, dash-shaped dent indicates a female. Step 4: Salt it Salt the eggplant halves or slices and let them drain in a colander for 20 minutes; the salt removes the eggplant's bitterness. Then rinse off the salt and pat very dry with paper towels. Step 5: Brush with oil Brush the eggplant generously with vegetable oil on all sides and salt to taste. Step 6: Grill it Grill until tender, turning occasionally, from six to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the slices. Did You Know? Eggplant is a fruit, not a vegetable.

OK, don't have a grill. Case closed.

avocado, cucumbers, peppers, zuchnni... basically any plant that holds seeds are botanically fruits, haha, yea i know, who comes up with these naming systems?!

Peel the thick skin off. Get more creative on the seasonings, add some balsamic vinegar or glaze to the oil and let marinade. Use canola or olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
