If you’re looking for new ideas to spruce up your favorite dishes, then you need to give grilled eggplant a try.

Easy to Prepare

One of the perks of grilled eggplant is that it’s just so easy to prepare. First, chop your eggplant into little diced squares of approximately a quarter of an inch, and put them on a baking tray. Then, season with salt, pepper, and olive oil, and slide them under the grill. Alternatively, you can grill larger slices of eggplant if you wish.

Quick and Efficient

Once you have done this, just leave the diced eggplant under the grill for around 20 minutes. Take them out when the eggplant begins to caramelize.

It Tastes Delicious

For something so simple, grilled eggplant really tastes divine. It can work well as a side dish on its own, or combined with other flavors as well.

Versatility

You can use this eggplant recipe to mix with any number of dishes. Our top choices are creamy chickpea curries, vegetable salads, baked potatoes, and omelettes.
