Miso-Glazed Eggplant

This side dish is best served right out of the oven or warmed. It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and full of flavor. This fusion Japanese-American dish is a wonderful accompaniment to any meat or chicken dish.

Directions

Prepare the Miso-Glazed Eggplant

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and place eggplant onto pan in a single layer.

3. In a small bowl, whisk sesame oil, miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, water, sugar, ginger, garlic, and spicy mayonnaise until combined. Pour over eggplant and toss until all pieces are coated with sauce. Roast for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

4. Serve warm, sprinkled with scallions and sesame seeds.
