- Preheat your grill to a high temperature to get the best char marks on the eggplant.
- Use a bit of olive oil to brush the eggplant slices before grilling to prevent them from sticking to the grill and add a nice richness.
- Don't overcook the eggplant; aim for tender yet slightly firm slices to maintain a good texture.
