Ingredients

• 2 medium Eggplant
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 small Lemon

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the eggplants under cold water. Cut off the ends and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 2

Place the eggplant slices on a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out any excess moisture.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Pat the eggplant slices dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture and salt.

Step 6

Brush each slice generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they're well-coated on both sides.

Step 7

Place the eggplant slices on the preheated grill. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until grill marks appear and the slices are tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Transfer the grilled eggplant to a serving platter.

Step 9

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the eggplant slices.

Step 10

Cut the lemon into wedges and serve alongside the eggplant for an optional squeeze of fresh lemon juice before eating.
