Ingredients
- Japanese eggplant
- 2, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- Miso paste
- 3 tablespoons
- Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Honey
- 1 tablespoon
- Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon
- Garlic

- Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until smooth. This is your miso glaze.
- Place the sliced eggplant on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer.
- Generously brush the miso glaze onto both sides of the eggplant slices, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the eggplant is tender and the glaze is caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Tips
- For an added kick, drizzle some chili oil over the eggplant before serving.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers using the same glaze.
