Whenever i tried to roast eggplants on the oven, it takes more time to clean than to cook. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You are poking the skin before you bake them, right? Otherwise you'll have lots of clean up (and little eggplant left intact). – kevins Sep 23 '10 at 13:09

What is taking so long to clean, your sheet pan? Put a sheet of parchment paper underneath the eggplant.

That's the only thing I could think of... I roast eggplants all the time and have never found it to be cleanup-intensive. – Michael at Herbivoracious Sep 23 '10 at 4:53

Here's a possible alternative. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but I find one of the best ways to prepare eggplant is to slice into about 1cm or 1/2in thick slices, optionally do the salt-and-wait-to-get-the-liquid-out-then-pat-dry song and dance routine, then lightly oil them and cook on my searing hot cast iron stovetop griddle.
