Ingredients
- 2 large eggplant
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the eggplants and cut off the ends. Slice the eggplants into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Brush each eggplant slice generously with the marinade on both sides. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a large tray and allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the grill is ready, place the eggplant slices on the grill in a single layer. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Step 6
Remove the eggplant slices from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Arrange the grilled eggplant slices on a serving platter and drizzle any remaining marinade over the top before serving.
