Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplant
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat for about 10 minutes.
While the grill heats up, slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should have between 16-20 slices total.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. This will be your marinade.
Place the eggplant slices in a large dish or baking sheet. Brush or drizzle the eggplant slices generously with the marinade on both sides.
Grill the eggplant slices for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the eggplant slices from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the eggplant slices for garnish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.
