Easy Grilled Eggplant
Description
This recipe calls for slicing medium eggplants into three-quarter inch thick pieces, which are then brushed with a blend of olive oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Seasoned with salt and black pepper, the slices are cooked over medium-high heat on a grill, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. The olive oil mixture both flavors and prevents sticking, while garlic and Italian herbs add depth.
Grilling gives the eggplant slices a tender interior with a slightly crisp, smoky exterior. The technique preserves the vegetable's moisture and avoids sogginess, making it suitable as a warm side dish or as an ingredient in other dishes.
These grilled eggplant slices pair well with grilled meats, as part of a vegetable platter, or layered in sandwiches and salads. Preparation is quick, suited for casual cooking, and uses staple pantry seasonings.
