What can I do my recipe calls for grilling a whole eggplant? I dint have a grill

If you have gas burners, you can also roast the eggplant (depending on how big) directly over the flames to get that smoky taste

I would poke a few holes in it, a light rub of olive oil, s&p, and bake. You could also cut in half lengthways and treat the same way. If you post how it is to become part of the meal you will get more specific answers.

I don't know what the recipe is but i grill eggplant in the oven all the time. I just rub the skin with a little olive oil place on parchment or foil and roast it at 425 turning occasionally. What are you making and does it require that the eggplant is really soft? You can also cut the eggplant in half and roast each half its quicker cut side down.
