Directions
Step 1
Cut the eggplants into slices approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
Lay the eggplant slices on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and sprinkle both sides with salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry.

Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with the olive oil mixture.
Step 6
Place the eggplant slices on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the eggplants are tender and have grill marks.

Remove the eggplant slices from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm.
