Ingredients

  • 1 Aubergine
  • 2 tbsps SWEET & SAVOURY MISO GLAZE & MARINADE SAUCE (Adjust the amount to your preference and according to the size of the eggplant.)
  • Optional: Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Optional: Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 220ºC.
  • Slice the aubergine in half lengthwise from top to bottom to create boat-shaped halves. With the tip of a knife, make 3 or 4 incisions in the flesh of the aubergine about 6mm deep.
  • Place the aubergine, flesh side down, on a baking tray or grill pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until the outer skin is browned and tender.
  • Turn the eggplant flesh side up and brush with the SWEET & SAVOURY MISO GLAZE & MARINADE SAUCE.
  • Return the aubergine to the oven and grill for another 5 minutes, or until the glaze starts to brown and sizzle.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, or other desired toppings.
