Tips & Notes:
1. If you use aubergine, you have to slice them and quarter them. Because they're bigger. If you use Chinese eggplants, you can just slice them.
2. When you sauté onions, you need to stir-fry them until they become translucent, so they can develop their sweetness.
3. I like to add some shredded cheese, whether it's mozzarella, cheddar or pizza cheese. It gives the baked vegetables an extra cheesy flavor.
