Tender roasted eggplant glazed in a sweet and savory char siu-style sauce, finished with fresh scallions. A flavorful plant-forward dish perfect as a side or light main.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound large eggplant (sliced into 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 2 stalk scallions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon five spice powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, five spice powder, and rice vinegar to create the marinade.
  2. Add eggplant slices to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let sit for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with non-stick foil or parchment paper.
  4. Arrange eggplant slices on the baking sheet and roast for 30–40 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and caramelized.
  5. Remove from oven, top with sliced scallions, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, marinate the eggplant overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Use vegetarian oyster sauce if you want a fully plant-based version.
  • Serve with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
