Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables to cook with. It has a mild earth flavor and soaks up all the wonderful flavors of the spices it is marinaded in.

Ingredients

2 medium eggplant

Salt to taste

2 tbsp Everiday Sambal

1 tbsp sesame oil

1.5 tbsp Everiday Coconut Aminos

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp water

Optional Garnish

Cilantro

Spring onion

Fresh red chili

Toasted sesame seeds

Lime wedges

Instructions

1

DONE!

Preheat the oven or Air-fryer to 200ºC / 400ºF

2

DONE!

To prepare the eggplant, cut them in halves lengthwise. Score the inside of the eggplant in squares making diagonal cuts. The cuts need to be deep but don’t pierce the skin. Season with salt.

3

DONE!

In a bowl mix the rest of the ingredients (except the garnish) to make a paste.

4

DONE!

Using a brush, marinate the eggplant with the paste. Make sure enough sauce is used on each eggplant. There should be a little left for a final brush when the eggplant comes out of the oven.

5

DONE!

Place some baking paper on a baking tray, lay the marinated aubergines (facing up) and bake for around 30 to 40 minutes. or air fry for 15 to 20 minutes.

Once done, brush on the remainder marinade and garnish with toppings of choice.
