If you’re a fan of savory-sweet flavors and melt-in-your-mouth vegetables, you’re going to love this Miso Eggplant recipe (Nasu Dengaku)! Roasted eggplant halves are brushed with a rich miso glaze that caramelizes beautifully under the broiler, creating an irresistible side dish or vegetarian main that’s packed with umami.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice eggplants in half lengthwise. Score the flesh in a crisscross pattern without cutting through the skin. Brush lightly with sesame oil.
Remove eggplants from the oven and brush generously with the miso glaze. Place under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until caramelized and slightly charred at the edges.
