Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Rinse the eggplant thoroughly and pat dry using a kitchen towel.
- Cut the eggplant into evenly sized slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, combine the red pepper flakes, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, and honey. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Brush each slice generously with the vegetable oil on both sides to ensure they don’t stick to the pan.
- Spoon or brush the marinade over both sides of the eggplant slices. Allow them to sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler.
- Broil the eggplant slices for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly charred. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
- Remove the eggplant from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with additional lime wedges and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve the broiled eggplant as a side dish or over a bed of rice for a delicious and flavorful meal.
Tips:
- Choose a firm, glossy eggplant for the best texture.
- Salt the eggplant slices lightly before marinating to draw out excess moisture and reduce any bitterness.
- Make sure to preheat your broiler for even cooking.
- Brush the eggplant slices with vegetable oil before broiling to ensure they don't stick to the pan.
- Consider garnishing with freshly chopped cilantro or green onions for added freshness and color.
- Serve with a side of rice or quinoa to make it a complete meal.
