You can cut them lengthwise or crosswise, depending on your preference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brush with olive oil:<\/strong> lightly brush both sides of the eggplant slices with extra virgin olive oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill and to give them a nice sheen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season to taste:<\/strong> Season the eggplant slices with salt and pepper. Add chopped garlic, fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme ) or a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grilling:<\/strong> Place the eggplant slices on the grill and let them grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are soft and have nice grill marks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve:<\/strong> Remove the grilled eggplants from the grill and serve immediately as a side dish, or let them cool and use them in salads, sandwiches, wraps or as a topping for pizzas and flatbreads.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Grilled eggplants are not only so delicious but they can be combined with other grilled vegetables, feta, olives and a vinaigrette for a flavorful grilled vegetable salad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EAT TASTY!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3387\" src=\"https:\/\/hetvoedingshuys.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Aubergine-gegrild-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hetvoedingshuys.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Aubergine-gegrild-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/hetvoedingshuys.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Aubergine-gegrild-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/hetvoedingshuys.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Aubergine-gegrild-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/hetvoedingshuys.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Aubergine-gegrild-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/hetvoedingshuys.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Aubergine-gegrild.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Eggplants are a versatile vegetable that can be prepared in a variety of ways,.
