<human>:  How do I cook an eggplant?
<bot>: To cook an eggplant, you can cut it into slices or cubes, then toss it with a bit of olive oil and seasonings of your choice. Place the slices or cubes into a preheated oven and bake until tender, about 25-30 minutes. You can also cook it on the stovetop by sautéing it in a skillet with oil or grilling it on a barbecue.
