Equipment

  • Oven
  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • paper towels
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

For the Eggplant

  • 1 medium eggplant choose medium-sized, firm ones for the best texture and flavor

For the Miso Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste adds a subtle sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce enhances umami flavor
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup for natural sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil for a nutty finish
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar for acidity

For Garnishing

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds for added crunch
  • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions adds freshness

Instructions
 

Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant into 1-inch thick rounds, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine white miso paste, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk until smooth.
  • Pat the eggplant dry, arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment, and brush both sides with the miso glaze.
  • Roast the eggplant for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  • Once roasted, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Serve warm.

Notes

Remember to taste and adjust the glaze. Pair with steamed rice or salad for a complete meal.
