Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice the 1 large eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Brush both sides with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Roast eggplant for 15-18 minutes, until golden and tender when pierced with a fork.

  3. Step 3

    While eggplant roasts, whisk together 2 tbsp miso paste and 2 tbsp mirin in a small bowl. Thinly slice the 1 small onion.

  4. Step 4

    Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and 8 sage leaves; cook until onion is golden and crispy, about 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Brush the roasted eggplant with the miso glaze and return to oven for 2-3 minutes, until glaze is bubbling. Top with crispy onions and sage leaves before serving.
