Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

This recipe yields 6 servings. Ingredient amounts are adjustable, but cooking steps remain consistent.

  • 3 medium Japanese eggplants, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 3 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and brush the grate lightly with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggplant and zucchini slices with the minced rosemary, sea salt, and cracked black pepper.

Step 3: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss them gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated.

Step 4: Cover and let the vegetables marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Great, simple side dish that is both delicious and easy to make. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal. Just be sure to use a spacious grill pan to allow the pieces to lay flat for optimal cooking. I made the mistake of using a smaller pan, which caused the cooking time to be longer, but the end result was still tasty.
