Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Course Side Dish
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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!
