How to Make Miso Garlic Broiled Eggplant

  1. Preheat your broiler to high heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons white miso paste, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 tablespoon sake, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  3. Slice 2 medium Japanese eggplants lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  4. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  5. Arrange eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Evenly brush the miso-garlic mixture over each eggplant slice.
  7. Sprinkle generously with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds.
  8. Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the glaze is golden brown and bubbly, and the eggplant is tender. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
