Look here if you enjoy cayenne wings and honey mustard! You’ll start to love this chicken wing sauce, I promise.

Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  1. 1 eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  2. ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  3. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  4. ⅛ teaspoon salt
  5. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  6. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  2. Brush eggplant lightly with some of the olive oil on both sides.
  3. Stir together remaining olive oil, garlic, and salt in a small bowl until combined; set aside.
  4. Arrange eggplant slices on the preheated grill and cook, turning occasionally, until tender and browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

This is the first time I’ve grilled eggplant and everything was so easy and really good, too! It took a little more time to grill, but I had the heat set to medium. I will be making this again!
