Ingredients

• 1 Whole eggplant, sliced

• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh basil, torn

Steps

1. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2. Brush the eggplant slices lightly with some of the olive oil on both sides.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, and salt until combined; set aside.
4. Arrange the eggplant slices on the preheated grill and cook, turning occasionally, until tender and browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
