Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant/aubergine
- 1 heaped tbsp of miso paste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp date, agave or maple syrup, coconut sugar or another sweetener
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1–2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds (optional)
- Chopped scallions/spring onions, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- First, cut your eggplant in half.
- Carefully cut a diamond pattern into the flesh of each half, keeping your knife upright so you don’t cut through the skin of the eggplant. Do this by scoring deep diagonal lines across the inside of the eggplant with your knife, and then turn it around to cut again and create a diamond pattern.
- Mix all the ingredients for the marinade.
- Spread the marinade over each eggplant half. Gently move the squares around with your fingers to help the marinade coat everywhere evenly.
- Put the eggplant on a tray lined with baking paper and bake for 20-30 minutes at 200°C (390°F).
