Love eggplant and FYI steaming takes the color out too! Oh well…love the brown roasted look too! Love your site!

I’ve already tried baby eggplants. Excellent in dessert recipes too!

These are the favorites in india; we slice and stuff them with filling then cook them in a curry!:) but I loved your healthy roasted edition! and looks pretty too! btw, this would be a great addition to the Monthly Mingle-Appetizers event I'm hosting on my blog...it'd be great if you could send these in!:)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen eggplants so cute. I’ve seen the slender Japanese ones but they look like purple tamarillos!

Hi Y,
They are fabulous for presentation and are so small they can be used as a canape base – very handy!

Hi Matt,
Thanks! I hope you find some and give them a try. :)

I don’t think I have ever seen baby eggplants before. What cute little devils. What a great way to cook em too.

Those are so cute. I’ve seen them before, but haven’t used them. I imagine they would be great presentation wise, if they were stuffed.

Hi Mag,
Oooh, head back to the Korean shop and get some more to make this. I’d love your stuffed recipe… will head over to your blog.

Hi Kevin,
I agree, roasting is definitely the best way. Especially if then they are mashed into a delicious dip.

Hi Sophie,
Me too! Only eaten eggplant once? I’m shocked! :)

I love it when food is cute AND delicious. I like the vinaigrette – simple but tasty and elegant. I’ll have to make these, so far I’ve only had eggplant one other time!

Those baby eggplants look nice! I bet the roasted eggplant went well with the mustard vinaigrette. Roasting eggplants is my favorite way to prepare them.

Very simple healthy recipe, thanks a lot!
I found few weeks ago some of these eggplants in a Korean grocery store, so I stuffed them and cooked them. But I will try yours soon :)

Hi Pixie,
I hope you find them! They taste almost exactly like regular large eggplants except they roast much faster and the skin crisps up a bit more (which is a good thing!).

Hi Christie,

I absolutely adore eggplant but have yet to try baby ones. Wondering of the difference in taste. I’ll have to ‘hunt’ them down one day to find out!

Hi Kim,
Thank you! I’m pretty happy with the pics too :)

Hi Tigerfish,
Hmmm, glad I could change your mind!

That mustard vinaigrette sounds like something that can make me eat eggplants. Yup-I am not a fan of egg plants. But with vinaigrette…maybe….:D

Hi Fearless Kitchen,
Thanks! The canape is so easy to make and the creamy mozarella goes so well with the earthy eggplant.

Hi Michelle,
Cheers for the roasting compliment – it’s a fine line between crisped and burnt ;) Luckily I got it just right this time.

Hi Diva,
Thanks, glad you like it!

Hi Clarie,
Thanks for clearing that up! Whatever they’re called, they’re delicious :)

Hi Hillary,
I bet you would! They taste just like the big version, but just look cuter.

Hello again Tangobaby,
I agree that eggplants are a match made in heaven in Thai curries, especially the little pea sized ones. I like to change it up though, you know?

Hi Din,
Thank you, you’re too kind.

Hi Noble Pig, (Love that name!)
They were absolutely scrumptious, give em a try!

I have never heard or seen of baby eggplants…so cute and I bet they were wonderful once roasted up.
