This Italian grilled eggplant side dish (contorno) couldn't be easier! We make this often during the summer when we have an abundance of basil and parsley growing in our garden. Works well with zucchini too. You can serve this dish warm or at room temperature. Leftovers taste great on a panini.

Ingredients

  • eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds: 1 piece
  • Extra virgin olive oil: 0.33333 cup
  • garlic: 2 clove (minced)
  • salt: 0.125 tsp
  • fresh basil: 2 Tbsp (chopped)
  • fresh flat-leaf parsley: 1 Tbsp (chopped)
