Time 1h45m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 medium eggplants, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
Kosher salt
4 red bell peppers
6 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 medium cloves garlic, grated
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pour the olive oil into a baking sheet and top with a single layer of eggplant slices. Turn to coat both sides with the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt. Place in the center of the oven and roast until completely tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and arrange in a single layer on a serving platter.
  • Place the peppers directly on the burners of a gas range or grill and char on all sides, rotating with a pair of tongs. Remove from the heat and place them in the refrigerator to cool, 10 minutes. Use a paper towel to wipe off the charred skin. Remove the seeds and slice the pepper flesh into thin strips. Arrange over the top of the eggplant.
  • Whisk together the soy, ginger, sesame oil, vinegar and garlic in a medium bowl. Taste for seasoning. Sprinkle the vinaigrette over the eggplant and peppers and top with the sesame seeds.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. It actually tastes better the next day.

I love the contrast of textures in this salad. The roasted eggplant is soft and creamy, while the charred peppers are crispy and slightly sweet.

The charred peppers add a nice touch of sweetness and smokiness to the salad. I also love the addition of the toasted sesame seeds.

This salad is so delicious and refreshing! The dressing is light and flavorful, and the roasted eggplant has a lovely smoky flavor. Will definitely be making this again.

Love this salad! I used a Japanese eggplant this time, but next time I'll try a regular eggplant like the recipe calls for.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted eggplant. I had some in the fridge and was looking for a new way to use it. This salad hit the spot!

I'm not usually a fan of eggplant, but this salad changed my mind. The roasting process brings out a wonderful flavor that is both smoky and nutty.

This roasted eggplant salad is an absolute delight! The smokiness of the eggplant pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the charred peppers and the tangy soy-sesame dressing. I followed the recipe to a T and it turned out beautifully.
