How to cook the eggplant in trader joe's eggplant roll style?
I want to learn how to make similar style eggplant roll. I cook eggplant many times, but I have no clue how to make the eggplant moist but not wet. I see the eggplant in trader joe's eggplant roll, it is exactly what I want. Should I bake the eggplant?

The trick is to draw out moisture from sliced eggplant before cooking - sweating and draining.
This isn't like sweating vegetables over heat - you salt both sides, and place between layers of paper towels for an hour or two. This will draw out the excess moisture while seasoning the eggplant - your roll will be less watery and less bitter.
We have used this recipe as a template for eggplant wrap type dishes.
In this recipe example they use a grill but you can also use a rack inside the oven either baking or broiling:
PREAHT a stovetop grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat.
CUT the eggplants lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices (about 6 slices each eggplant).
BRUSH the eggplant slices evenly with olive oil on both sides.
GRILL the eggplant slices in batches for 3 minutes each side.
ALLOW to cool slightly
