Flavorful Grilled Eggplant
(1 Servings)Ingredients
1 | 100 g eggplant, sliced into 1 cm rounds |
2 | 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml) |
3 | 1 clove garlic, minced |
4 | 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (5 ml) |
5 | Salt and pepper, to taste |
6 | Fresh basil leaves, for garnish |
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Eggplant: Start by slicing the eggplant into 1 cm thick rounds. Sprinkle a little salt on both sides and let it sit for about 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry with a paper towel.
Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. This will be your flavorful marinade.
Marinate the Eggplant: Brush the marinade generously on both sides of the eggplant slices. Let them marinate for about 5 minutes while you preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Grill the Eggplant: Once the grill is hot, place the marinated eggplant slices on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Serve: Remove the grilled eggplant from the grill and transfer it to a plate. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and an additional drizzle of balsamic vinegar if desired.
Pro Tips
For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a spicy kick!
Make sure not to overcrowd the grill; grill in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
