They're definitely a variety of eggplant. I cut them in half or quarters, toss in a ziploc bag or tupperware container with about 1 tbs canola or olive oil, and then add tbs of ranch dressing powder or some pepper, garlic powder, and seasining salt. I pour them out into a glass or metal baking dish or baking sheet and bake in the oven at 425 for about 40 minutes (until they're soft inside, and carmelized - just a little brown around the edges).
I've also sliced them thin and sauteed them with onions in a little bit of oil or butter and seasoned with soy sauce and garlic powder (with or without thin slices of beef).
