1
Prepare the Eggplant
Slice the eggplants into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
2
Dry and Season
Rinse the eggplant slices under cold water to remove excess salt and pat them dry with paper towels. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Brush this mixture on both sides of the eggplant slices.
3
Grill the Eggplant
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the eggplant slices on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they have nice grill marks and are tender.
4
Garnish and Serve
Remove the grilled eggplant from the grill and place it on a serving plate. Drizzle with additional olive oil and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
