Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time23 minutes
Total Time28 minutes
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: Japanese
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup white miso paste Red or yellow miso will work as well.
  • 3 Tbsp mirin
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 green onion
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees
  • Cut eggplant into 3/4" disks and place on baking sheet.  Oil eggplant on both sides to avoid sticking.
  • Place eggplant in oven once it reaches 450 degrees. The eggplant will take 20 minutes to roast. Turn eggplant over at 10 min mark.
  • Chop green onion on a diagonal.  Reserve for later.
  • While eggplant is cooking whisk miso paste, sugar, mirin, soy sauce, and sesame oil to combine.
  • Remove eggplant after 20 minutes and set oven to broil with the rack at second notch from broiler.  Apply miso paste with a sauce brush.  I like to use a lot of paste at this point.
  • Place eggplant with miso paste in broiler for roughly 3 minutes.  Keep an eye on the eggplant and watch for burning.  It should get nicely caramelized.  Remove from oven.
  • Plate eggplant and top with sesame seeds and green onion. Enjoy!
