Garlicky eggplant is a savory dish featuring tender eggplant slices sautéed with garlic and herbs, offering a rich and aromatic flavor.
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins
- 1.5 lb eggplant cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic grated or finely minced
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- 1.5 Tbsp lemon juice or white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup parsley roughly chopped
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the eggplant, preferable cut-side down.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and soft. (If there isn't enough room in your skillet for one even layer, work in batches.)
Once the eggplant is softened, add the garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Toss to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes or until garlic is aromatic and just starting to brown.
Turn off the heat and add in the lemon juice or vinegar. Garnish with the chopped parsley. Enjoy!
