Do you peel eggplant before roasting?

I think that I will grill some eggplants soon, but I don’t know should I peel them before grilling. Is it peeled before roasting is it normally done like that or peeled and the skin left on the chicken. I have interest on how the texture and taste of the food item is altered. Anything that you would recommend or your personal preference is very much appreciated!

Usually, I keep the skin on for roasting—it adds a nice texture and helps hold everything together . But if you prefer a milder flavor or softer texture, peeling works too.

I've experimented with both methods, and honestly, it depends on the size and type of eggplant. If smaller eggplants with thinner skin I usually leave the skin on. It adds a nice texture and flavor, If larger eggplants with thicker skin, I usually peel the skin, especially if you don't like the texture.

Totally agree, keeping the skin on adds great texture and flavor... thanks for the tip!

Totally get it! I love the texture of skin on smaller eggplants, but peeling big ones makes them so much smoother. Thanks for the tip!

Hi. For regular roasted eggplant recipes, I always leave the peel on. There is no need to peel the eggplant.

Totally agree! Leaving the peel on adds extra flavor and texture to the roasted eggplant—plus, it's way easier!

It’s up to you! You can roast eggplant with the skin on for extra texture and nutrients, or peel it if you prefer a softer, more tender bite. Either way, it’ll be delicious!
