Asian Glazed Roasted Eggplant

Ingredients

2 tsp. Low sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari sauce)
1 tsp.. Honey
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
2 lb. Eggplant, raw (about 2 medium, sliced lengthwise)

Instructions

Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400°F.

Carefully score the cut side of the eggplant in a diamond pattern. Cut about 1/2 inches deep into the flesh of the eggplant.

Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil until well blended.

When the oven is hot, spray the cut side of the eggplant with oil and place face down on the baking sheet.

Roast for 10 minutes and then turn the eggplant skin side down on the baking sheet.

Divide the sauce between the four halves of the eggplant. Use a spoon to spread the sauce evenly across the eggplant.

Roast for another 20 minutes.

Serve.

Recipe Notes

This works great on the grill – maybe better than in the oven. Set the grill to high and place the eggplant on cut side down. After about 3 minutes, turn the eggplant 90 degrees to get the grill marks right. Roast for another 3 minutes and then turn skin side down.
