Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplants into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Sprinkle salt on both sides and let them sit for about 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Roast the Eggplant

    Rinse the salt off the eggplant slices and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the olive oil over the slices and toss to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Herb Mixture

    While the eggplant is roasting, chop the fresh basil and parsley and mix them in a bowl. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Once the eggplant is roasted, remove it from the oven and drizzle the 25-year balsamic vinegar over the top. Scatter the fresh herb mixture over the eggplant. Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
