Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 Medium-Sized Whole Eggplant
  • 1 Cup BBQ Sauce (any kind works, plus more for serving)
  • 1 Tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 Tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 to 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 to 1/2 Tsp Salt

Instruction

  • Slice your eggplant into 1/4 inch thick rounds and set aside while you mix together the dry spice rub. Rub the mixed spices into the eggplant slices so they are fully coated.
  • Heat a greased grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Place the rubbed eggplant slices on the hot grill and cook the first side for just about 5 minutes.
  • Flip the eggplant and grill the other side for 5 more minutes. After you've flipped, brush the grilled side with bbq sauce.
  • Flip the eggplant to the unsauced side after 5 minutes and brush with more bbq sauce before removing the slices and setting them on a platter.
  • Brush the bbq eggplant steaks with additional bbq sauce as needed before serving.
