👨🍳 Instructions
- Wash the eggplant thoroughly and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds or lengthwise strips. Lightly sprinkle both sides of the slices with salt and let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- Pat the eggplant slices dry with paper towels to remove any remaining moisture and excess salt. Then, brush both sides of each slice generously with olive oil.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the oiled eggplant slices on the hot grill and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until they are tender, have prominent grill marks, and are slightly charred.
- Once cooked, remove the grilled eggplant from the heat. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste and serve immediately as a side dish, appetizer, or in a salad.
