What is Roasted Eggplant?
The English name on file is Roasted Eggplant, but the Turkish name, patlıcan kızartma, refers to Turkish-style fried eggplant: slices are cooked in hot oil until tender and browned. It is a familiar home-cooked dish in Turkey, especially when summer eggplants are in season, and the amount of oil varies from kitchen to kitchen.
The slices are soft inside with lightly crisp, golden edges. In Turkey, they’re often served alongside a main dish or as a meze, with garlicky yoghurt or tomato sauce. Eggplant contributes fibre, while the oil absorbed during frying can substantially change the dish’s overall nutritional profile. For a lighter version, use a non-stick pan with just a little oil and drain the cooked slices on kitchen paper.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roasted Eggplant
What is patlıcan kızartma?
Patlıcan kızartma is Turkish fried eggplant, usually made by slicing eggplant and frying it until tender and browned. It is often served as a side dish, with garlic yogurt or tomato sauce.
How do you stop patlıcan kızartma from absorbing so much oil?
Dry the eggplant slices thoroughly and add them only when the frying oil is hot. Fry in batches rather than crowding the pan, then drain the slices on paper towels.
Should you salt eggplant before making patlıcan kızartma?
You can salt eggplant before making patlıcan kızartma, especially if you want to draw out some bitterness. Let the slices sit briefly, rinse if needed, and dry them very well before frying.
Do you peel eggplant for patlıcan kızartma?
No, peeling eggplant for patlıcan kızartma is optional. Leaving the skin on helps the slices hold their shape, while peeling strips of thick or tough skin can make the finished dish more tender.
What do you serve with patlıcan kızartma?
Patlıcan kızartma pairs especially well with garlic yogurt or tomato sauce. Serve the sauce alongside or add it just before eating, since leaving fried slices under sauce makes them soft.
Which eggplant is best for patlıcan kızartma?
Choose firm, glossy eggplants without bruises for patlıcan kızartma. Similar-sized eggplants are easier to slice evenly, so the pieces cook at roughly the same rate.
How do you keep patlıcan kızartma crispy?
To keep patlıcan kızartma crispier, avoid stacking the slices and drain them on a rack or paper towels after frying. Add salt and sauce shortly before serving rather than while the slices sit.
How long does patlıcan kızartma last in the fridge?
Patlıcan kızartma keeps in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Store any yogurt or tomato sauce separately, because moisture makes the fried eggplant soften faster.
Can you freeze patlıcan kızartma?
Yes, you can freeze patlıcan kızartma, but the slices will be softer after thawing. Cool them completely, freeze in a sealed container with baking paper between layers, and reheat from thawed.
Can you make patlıcan kızartma in an air fryer?
Yes, patlıcan kızartma can be made in an air fryer with a light coating of oil. Arrange the slices in a single layer and cook until tender and browned, turning them partway through.
