Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the eggplant on a non-stick baking sheet and prick all over with a fork. Bake for 20 minutes, until the skin is wrinkled. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°F (80°C).
- Transfer the eggplant to a large bowl and cover. Let cool and sweat for 10-15 minutes, until the skin peels off easily, and they are cool enough to handle.
- Trim the stems from the eggplant and remove the skin completely. Tear the eggplant flesh into thin strips and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, smoked paprika, cayenne, brown sugar, salt, and pepper and mix well.
- Add the eggplant strips to a non-stick baking sheet and sprinkle with the spice mix. Mix well with your hands to coat.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the ends of the eggplant strips start to dry out.
- Increase the oven temperature to 250°F (120°C)
- Pour the barbecue sauce over the eggplant and toss well to coat.
- Bake for 15 minutes more, until the sauce has been absorbed by the eggplant.
- Pile the eggplant on the buns and top with coleslaw, if desired.
- Enjoy!
