Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 large eggplant into 1/2 inch rounds. Sprinkle with the 1/2 tsp salt and let sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant slices in a single layer and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to low. Drizzle the 2 tbsp honey and sprinkle the 1 tsp sugar over the eggplant. Cook for 1 minute, turning slices to coat, until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Serve warm, drizzled with any extra glaze from the pan.
