Ingredients

– 2 large eggplants
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Making Smoky Grilled Eggplant with Garlic Yogurt Sauce is easy when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Eggplants: Start by slicing the eggplants into ½-inch thick rounds. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
2. Season the Eggplants: Drizzle olive oil over the slices. Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly on both sides. Ensure all slices are well coated.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (about 400°F or 200°C).
4. Grill the Eggplants: Place the seasoned eggplant slices on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks.
5. Make the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: While the eggplants are grilling, combine the yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix well until fully combined.
6. Remove Eggplant from the Grill: Once the eggplants are cooked, remove them from the grill and set them aside to cool slightly.
7. Serve: Arrange the grilled eggplant on a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic yogurt sauce over the top, and if desired, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
