Score the inside of the eggplant in a cross-hatch pattern.

Brush the cut surface with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Place the eggplant, cut-side up, on a baking sheet.

Roast until soft, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Mix lime zest and juice in a small bowl.

To serve, spoon the lime mixture over the eggplant.
