Important Notes
Frying the vegetables is traditional and yields the best flavor, but you can optionally bake them in the oven with olive oil, salt, and pepper for a lighter version.
Make sure to add the milk to the flour-oil mixture gradually while whisking vigorously to avoid any lumps in the bechamel.
Letting the baked moussaka cool for at least 1 hour is essential to ensure clean slices when serving; otherwise, the layers may slide apart.
