Preparation Steps
1
Wash the eggplant and slice it into approximately 1 cm thick slices to ensure even grilling.
2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3
Brush the eggplant slices generously with the seasoned oil mixture on both sides, ensuring they are well coated.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If necessary, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the eggplant from sticking.
5
Place the eggplant slices on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until lightly charred and tender.
6
Flip the slices occasionally during grilling to ensure even cooking on all sides.
7
Once the eggplant is cooked, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving for extra freshness.
8
Serve warm as a side dish or as a standalone dish, perhaps with a fresh salad or a garlicky yogurt dip.
