How to Cut Up an Eggplant?

To cut up an eggplant, you can slice it into rounds, dice it into cubes, or cut it into strips depending on your recipe.

Here's a breakdown of how to cut an eggplant:

1. Slicing: Cut the eggplant crosswise into slices, adjusting the thickness to your preference.

2. Dicing:

   • First, slice the eggplant.
   • Stack the slices and cut them into strips.
