Ingredients:

  • 2 medium aubergines (eggplants)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra depth)
  • 3–4 tbsp Harry's Black Garlic Teriyaki Honey Glaze
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Aubergines

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the aubergines lengthwise into halves and score the flesh with a knife in a crisscross pattern. Be careful not to cut through the skin.
  3. Place the aubergines on the prepared baking sheet, flesh side up.

Step 2: Season and Roast

  1. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the aubergine halves, making sure it seeps into the scored flesh.
  2. Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using) over the tops.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the flesh is golden, tender, and caramelized.

Step 3: Add the Black Garlic Magic

  1. Remove the aubergines from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
  2. Generously drizzle Harry's Black Garlic Teriyaki Honey Glaze over the roasted aubergines, ensuring the rich glaze pools into the cuts for extra flavour.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

  1. Sprinkle the roasted aubergines with sesame seeds for a touch of crunch and a nutty accent.
  2. Add a sprinkling of freshly chopped cilantro or parsley for a pop of colour and freshness.
  3. Serve warm as a side dish, or pair with rice, noodles, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
