Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplant
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash the eggplants thoroughly, and then slice them into approximately 1/2-inch thick rounds.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Brush both sides of each eggplant slice generously with the olive oil mixture.
Place the eggplant slices onto the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on the first side, until grill marks appear.
Flip the eggplant slices and continue to grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through.
Remove the eggplant slices from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the grilled eggplant slices for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or pair them with your favorite main course.
