ROAST THE Aubergine
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Score the flesh side of the Aubergine halves with a knife in a cross-hatch pattern without piercing all the way down to the skin. Spread the aubergine halves cut-side up on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until softened, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until cooked through, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
