Almost any food can be disappointing when not cooked properly, but in my experience, eggplant is one of the worst offenders.

At its best, eggplant is silken, meaty and, depending on how you cook it, smoky. In its less shining moments, it’s bitter, tough and squeaky to bite into.

If those unfortunate possibilities are enough to send a chill down your spine, no need to fret. We have a robust selection of eggplant recipes guaranteed to help this vegetable-that’s-actually-a-fruit shine.

Check out these options from our archives that will help you grill, broil, fry and roast your way to eggplant success.

Grilled Eggplant Salad. This recipe from Leela Punyaratabandhu, also the source of the curry above, is another example of how Asian cuisine is great at making the most of eggplant. The pieces are tossed with a sweet, tart and salty coconut milk dressing, with crispy shallots and cashews adding crunch. For a totally different global approach, see Turkish-Style Grilled Eggplant Salad.
