Perfect Grilled Aubergines (beringela grelhada)

Grilled vegetables are my go-to side dish or even sometimes even main dish. They are incredibly easy to prepare and go well with almost everything. Between my favourite vegetables to grill is aubergine. I also love grilled artichokes, zucchini, peppers, onions, corn and mushrooms.

Perfect Grilled Aubergines Recipe:

  • 2 medium Aubergines
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1tsp paprika
  • pepper and salt to taste

Heat a griddle pan or grill.

Slice the aubergines. In a bowl mix all ingredients to prepare the seasoning mixture.

Brush each aubergine slice with the olive oil mixture. Cook for 2-3 mins, turning once, until softened and lightly charred.

Use the olive oil mixture as a dressing for extra flavour.
