Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplant
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the eggplants thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Lay the slices on a cutting board.
Step 3
In a small bowl, prepare the garlic herb marinade by combining the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, finely chopped fresh parsley, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and water. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 4
Brush each slice of eggplant generously on both sides with the prepared marinade, making sure the slices are well coated.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Ensure it is hot before placing the eggplant on it.
Step 6
Once preheated, arrange the eggplant slices on the grill in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Step 7
Grill the eggplant slices for about 3-5 minutes on one side, or until grill marks appear and the slices begin to soften.
Step 8
Flip the slices and continue grilling for another 3-5 minutes on the other side, until they are tender and have nice char marks.
Step 9
Remove the grilled eggplant slices from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 10
Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
