Once you preheat the oven to 400 degrees, adding the eggplant to your baking sheet is the next step. It’s amazing how a nice slow cooking in the oven makes the eggplant totally tender. Once you bake for 45 minutes and it becomes lightly browned, it’s ready to get started on the dip. Just make sure to let it cool slightly as it’s going to be hot!
