If you're looking for a healthy, flavorful and easy-to-make dinner, this grilled eggplant recipe is a must-try! Not only is eggplant low in calories and high in fiber, but when grilled it develops a smoky, rich flavor that's hard to resist.
Ingredients:
- 1 large eggplant (sliced into rounds)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
To start, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, brush both sides of the eggplant rounds with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the eggplant rounds on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until tender and charred.
In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Once the eggplant is cooked, remove from the grill and place on a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic and balsamic mixture over the eggplant and serve.
For a creative twist, try topping the grilled eggplant with fresh herbs like basil or parsley, crumbled feta cheese, or chopped cherry tomatoes. The possibilities are endless!
