Score the cut size w/o going through the skin. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp salt on each half rubbing into the cross sections you cut. 2) Drain cut side down in colander for 30 minutes. 3) Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line baking sheet with parchment paper. 4) Prep veggies. 5) Rinse extra salt off eggplant & pat dry. 6) Rub 2 TBS olive oil all over eggplants & place cut side down on baking sheet. 7) Roast for ~25 minutes until tender Put tomatoes & juices into small pot over medium heat, until simmer.
