Ingredients

• 2 medium size eggplant (about 500 g / 17.6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons miso paste
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Directions

1. Start out by washing your eggplants. Be sure to scrub the skin well until all the dirt is off, and then rinse them off completely.

2. Cut each eggplant in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into quarters to form eight wedges. Don’t worry if the wedges aren’t perfect - it adds to the character of the dish!

3. In a small bowl, mix the miso paste, vegetable oil, and minced garlic together until it forms a paste.

4. Place the eggplant wedges in a large bowl. Take the miso paste mixture and brush it onto the eggplant wedges. Don’t be afraid to get your hands messy - it’s a lot more fun that way!

5. Preheat your grill or broiler. Once the grill or broiler is hot, place the eggplant wedges on it. Grill or broil each side for about 5 minutes or until they become golden brown and the texture is soft.

6. Now it’s time to enjoy your Miso Grilled Eggplant - your tummy and the kids will thank you!
