Miso roasted eggplant, a creamy delight !

Hi ! I remember always wanting to eat this whenever we went to a Japanese restaurant as a youngster. So when I ate this, all the awkward memories came flooding back, ah to relive my teenagehood knowing what I know now !

Anyway, if you want feel young again, eat this (??!!)

Creamy, eggplanty, salty, sweet & a little crunchy – all the good stuff in one morsel.

Ingredients
  1. 1 eggplant, cut into 2cm chunks
  2. 1 tbs olive oil
  3. 2 sachets miso soup
  4. 1 tbs rice wine vinegar
  5. 3 tbs water
  6. 1 Spring onion, sliced, to serve
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 200ºC (fan-bake). Toss the eggplant in the olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Place on a baking tray & roast for 15 mins or until the eggplant is slightly browned.
  2. Meanwhile, mix together the miso dressing ingredients and pour over the roasted eggplant, tossing it on the tray to coat well. Continue to roast for a further 5-10 minutes until they start to brown. Season and serve.
Notes
  1. Can be made a few days ahead, also a good one for storing in fridge to add to salads etc.

    I’ve just started optifast and this was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for taking the time to out together these “intensive phase” recipes. One question, how much is in a miso sachet? I buy mine in a big tub & our supermarket doesn’t stock individual sachets for me to compare it to. Thanks!

      Hi Davina ! The sachets are 18g each, I would use 1 tbs of miso paste as an equivalent measure. All the best on your journey & thanks for taking the time to write 🙂 Joni
