- For best results, salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out extra moisture before cooking. Rinse and pat them dry to reduce bitterness and improve texture.
- Customizing the spice level is easy; simply adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your preference.
- To save time, you can use canned beans instead of cooking them from scratch. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly to reduce sodium content.
- Adding a handful of fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, can enhance the flavor profile of the casserole.
- You can prepare this dish ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. It may even taste better as the flavors meld together.
