Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggplant
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 medium Garlic cloves
- 2 small Red chiles
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the eggplants into 1-inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush both sides of the eggplant rounds with the honey mixture until completely coated.
Thinly slice the red chiles and scatter them over the top of the eggplant rounds.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the eggplant rounds halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
Once roasted, remove the eggplant from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the eggplant to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining honey mixture from the baking sheet over the top.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve warm as a side dish or with rice for a complete meal.
