Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplants
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash the eggplants and cut off the stems. Slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme leaves, and rosemary. Stir well to create an herb-garlic oil mixture.
Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with the herb-garlic oil. Ensure each slice is evenly coated.
Season the eggplant slices with salt and black pepper.
Place the eggplant slices directly on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the eggplants are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the eggplants from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Drizzle the grilled eggplants with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley for added freshness.
Serve immediately while warm, or let them cool to room temperature. Enjoy as a side dish or a light main course.
