A vegetarian entree recipe for baked eggplants, spiced with hot sauce, chopped fresh herbs and balsamic vinegar for plenty of flavor. A healthy and easy vegetarian and vegan recipe for broiled eggplant.

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggplants
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp hot sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp rosemary
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsely, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Slice eggplants in half. Sprinkle salt over each half and let sit for at least 20 minutes, then rinse and gently pat dry.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the oil and the hot sauce, and spread this over the eggplants.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, then turn eggplants, and bake another 5-7 minutes. Broil for an additional one minute per side. Eggplants should be browned and tender.
