What is taking so long to clean, your sheet pan? Put a sheet of parchment paper underneath the eggplant.

What is the healthiest way to cook eggplant?
Scoop out the roasted pulpy flesh and place it in a bowl. Discard the charred skin. The eggplant will be quite soft, and you may need to peel off a few small bits of skin by hand. I'm not super careful about it; I find that a few charred bits actually enhance the smoky flavor, which we find desirable.How do you clean roasted eggplant?
Simply prick the eggplant all over with a fork so that it can release steam as it cooks. Place it over a medium- or low-heat grill and let it cook for 30 minutes to one hour, turning it occasionally, until the skin is completely charred on the outside and the vegetable collapses.How do you char eggplant on an electric stove?

Answer 2
Here's a possible alternative. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but I find one of the best ways to prepare eggplant is to slice into about 1cm or 1/2in thick slices, optionally do the salt-and-wait-to-get-the-liquid-out-then-pat-dry song and dance routine, then lightly oil them and cook on my searing hot cast iron stovetop griddle.
Answer 3
From the nickname "kocakafa" I see that you are Turkish. So am I and I use a pan you can buy easily in any utensil selling store in Turkey for eggplant roasting. I am attaching the image. It is very easy to use and the cooking time is significantly reduced as the cleaning time.
