Cut the eggplants into slices approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Lay the eggplant slices on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and sprinkle both sides with salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with the olive oil mixture.
Place the eggplant slices on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the eggplants are tender and have grill marks.
Remove the eggplant slices from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm.
