Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplants

    Slice the eggplants into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes to release excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Make the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Rinse and Coat the Eggplants

    After 30 minutes, rinse the eggplant slices under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with the marinade.

  5. 5

    Grill the Eggplants

    Place the eggplant slices on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the grill, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
