Grilled Eggplant is a simple, smoky side dish made by sealing fresh eggplant with butter, tomato, herbs, and onion in foil and cooking it slowly over a grill. As it bakes, the ingredients soften and blend together into a rich, savory mixture with deep flavor and tender texture. 

Perfect for summer cookouts or easy weeknight meals, this foil-packet recipe brings out the best in fresh eggplant with minimal effort.

 

Ingredients
2 cups diced eggplant, skins on
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tomato, chopped

Instructions

  1. Seal all the ingredients in heavy-duty (or double-thickness) foil, and bake over a charcoal or gas grill for about 1 hour. 
  2. Test occasionally for doneness by carefully opening the packet and piercing the eggplant with a fork.
