Ingredients
For the Roasted Aubergine
- 2 aubergine eggplants
- 2 teaspoons salt for sweating the aubergine
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
For the Honey Garlic Sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Slice the aubergine into ½-inch thick rounds.
- Lay the slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle both sides generously with salt. Let them sit for about 20-30 minutes to draw out moisture and reduce bitterness.
- After 20-30 minutes, rinse the aubergine slices thoroughly with cold water to remove the salt, and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the aubergine slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush both sides of the aubergine slices with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the aubergine are golden brown and tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, minced garlic, vinegar, and water.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow it to cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the garlic is softened and the flavors meld together. Remove from heat.
- Once the aubergine slices are done baking, remove them from the oven and slice them into smaller pieces (if desired).
- Transfer them to a serving platter and drizzle with the warm honey garlic sauce.
- Serve and enjoy
