Ingredients
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 baby eggplants (1 1/4 pounds) or 1 large eggplant, cut lengthwise into 1-inch-thick slices and scored
- Salt
Directions
-
Heat grill to medium. In small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce and 1 tablespoon oil; set aside.
-
Halve eggplants lengthwise; slice a bit off the skin side so they lie flat, and score both sides in a crisscross pattern.
-
Brush both sides of eggplant halves with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt. Grill until charred and tender, 4 to 7 minutes per side. Brush both sides generously with reserved hoisin mixture; grill each side again just to glaze, about 1 minute per side. Serve hot.
Loved this recipe. I made a few small adjustments. I used a drizzle of honey and 1 whole jalapeno pepper to spice it up a bit. This will be a keeper for me and my family.
Amazing! I've had grilled veggies before, but this takes it to a whole new level. This is now on our list of family favs!
