They can.

I've always found frozen aubergines a little mushy when defrosted, I'd imagine smaller, denser, varieties would hold up best... I'm sure someone will be along with some practical advice shortly. :) (Lucky you, if you've got a glut, my plants are refusing to flower. ::) )

You've said it.The long ones are best. We just sauté them lightly.
