Eggplant lovers rejoice—here’s one more way to enjoy your favorite purple-skinned vegetable. Try this eggplant on crostini with a sprinkle of chopped tomatoes, feta, and capers, or stir it into your favorite pasta with a splash of good extra-virgin olive oil and a handful of chopped basil.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, liquid smoke, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper in a medium bowl.
Step 2
Toss eggplant strips in marinade. Let excess marinade drip from strips, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until bubbly and browned on edges, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
