First slice the eggplant about 2in thick and lay out on a platter/plate and cover in salt, add layers of eggplant & salt..cover with another plater and set something heavy on top of top plate (like heavy cans). Let sit for about 10-20 min, draining off the brown liquid. Then rinse well each slice in cold water. Now add to a pan of olive oil and pan fry with fav seasoning. Or make kabobs and place on grill. Toss in spaghetti sauce.

Cheesy Baked Eggplant
Ingredients:
1 eggplant, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
1 tablespoon garlic powder, or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 small tomatoes, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
3/4 cup tomato pasta sauce
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush eggplant slices with olive oil on both sides, and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle garlic powder over the top. Bake for 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, tomatoes and spinach. Cook and stir for a few minutes until fragrant, and the tomatoes have released their juices. In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
Cut eggplant into thin rounds. Add turmeric powder and keep aside for a few minutes. Deep fry in oil. After draining on a paper napkin (kitchen tissue), sprinkle salt and black pepper powder on the eggplant. Very oily, but tasty.
