Ingredients

• 1 large eggplant, unpeeled
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1. Preheat grill, or a grill pan, over medium-high heat.
2. Trim the eggplant edges and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. You should get about 12 rounds out of a large eggplant.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Brush the eggplant rounds with the mixture, on both sides. Set aside any remaining sauce.
4. Grill the eggplant slices until golden brown and fork-tender, about 5 minutes on each side.
5. Brush the grilled eggplant slices with the remaining marinade and serve.
