Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant (aubergine)
- 1 bottle olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle both sides lightly with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly spray both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil spray.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the eggplant slices, pressing lightly to help the seasonings stick.
Place the seasoned eggplant slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the eggplant is tender.
Remove from the grill and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or light snack.
