Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplant
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1.5 cups Dairy-free mozzarella cheese

Step 1
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).

Place the eggplant slices on a large tray and brush both sides with olive oil.

Step 6
About 2 minutes before the eggplants are done, sprinkle each slice generously with dairy-free mozzarella cheese.

Step 10
Serve the grilled eggplant hot and enjoy your scrumptious dairy-free meal!
