Equipment

  • grill

Ingredients

  • 6 Fairy tale eggplant
  • 1-2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the grill to medium heat. Scrape and oil the grill.
  • Cut eggplant in the ½ inch strips lengthwise. Brush each side with olive oil and lightly salt and pepper.
  • Grill on each side about 1-1 1/2 minutes. You will note the color change in the flesh from opaque yellowish-white to a more translucent, watery yellow, and in the purple skin to brown. Do not over grill.

Notes

The amount of eggplant per person will depend on their size. We estimated 1-2 per person but any amount can be grilled.
