Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplant
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1.5 cups Dairy-free mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplants into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
Place the eggplant slices on a large tray and brush both sides with olive oil.
Season the eggplant slices with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano on both sides.
Place the eggplant slices directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the eggplants are tender.
About 2 minutes before the eggplants are done, sprinkle each slice generously with dairy-free mozzarella cheese.
Cover the grill temporarily with the lid to help the cheese melt, being cautious not to overcook the eggplant.
Remove the eggplant slices from the grill once the cheese has melted completely.
Garnish each slice with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve the grilled eggplant hot and enjoy your scrumptious dairy-free meal!
