Italian Grilled Eggplant with Basil and Parsley Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

2. Brush eggplant lightly with olive oil on both sides. Stir together remaining olive oil, garlic, and salt in a small bowl.

3. Arrange eggplant slices on the preheated grill and cook, turning occasionally, until tender and browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

4. Arrange grilled eggplant on a platter. Brush with the olive oil and garlic mixture until eggplant has absorbed the oil. Sprinkle with the chopped basil and parsley and serve.
