  • 1/2 tbsp white sugar
  • 1 scallion
  • 1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Step by step

step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Cut eggplant in half lengthwise, then cut a crisscross pattern into the inside of each eggplant. Sprinkle with salt to extract excess moisture and set aside for 10 minutes.

Wipe away the excess moisture extracted from the eggplant. Brush both sides with oil and place on baking sheet skin side up for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, flip eggplants over and brush on miso glaze, then broil on high until glaze is caramelized.

Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
