Ingredients
- 2 eggplant about 1 pound each (I used globe eggplant, which are the standard variety with dark purple skin you see at most grocery stores)
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove minced or grated garlic
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- chopped fresh basil or parsley optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium high (400 to 450°F). Make sure the grates are brushed clean.
- Trim off the ends of the eggplant and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch rounds. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet or similar platter you can carry easily to the grill.
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush evenly over both sides of the eggplant.
- Brush the seasoning evenly over the eggplant.
- Flip the eggplant and brush the seasoning evenly over the other side.
- Grill the eggplant for 8 to 10 minutes with the lid closed, flipping it 5 minutes into the cook time. It should have nice grill marks on both sides. Transfer to a platter. Serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and additional salt to taste.

Notes
- TO STORE: Refrigerate leftover grilled eggplant slices for up to 5 days.
- TO REHEAT: Rewarm leftovers in a 350°F oven until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- TO FREEZE: I do not recommend freezing grilled eggplant, as it will become mushy once thawed.
