Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplant sliced into 1/2" rounds
- 1 tbsp salt
- salt and pepper
For the garlic aioli:
- 1/3 cup mayo
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
Instructions
- Place the sliced eggplant in a large strainer, sprinkle with salt and allow it to sit for at least 20 minutes. The salt will pull out some of the water, which is a good thing. Once the time is up, wipe the water off of the eggplant with a paper towel. Then, season with salt and pepper.
- Heat your grill or grill pan over medium heat, then add the eggplant and grill for 4-5 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, make the aioli (optional): Add the mayo to a bowl. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small skillet, then add the garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Pour the oil and garlic into the bowl with the mayo and stir to combine.
- Enjoy!
