This grilled balsamic eggplant makes for the perfect quick, yet healthy side dish all summer long!
Grilled vegetables are a staple side dish in our house during the summer, and eggplant happens to be a favorite of mine.
This grilled eggplant recipe is so quick and easy to make. I typically double or triple the recipe and save the leftovers to use on salads throughout the week! This method can be used with other veggies, just adjust the grilling time as needed.
The longer you let the eggplant marinate, the bolder the flavor will be, so play around with the time based on your personal preference!

How can you be sure if the balsamic vinegar is GF? I’m afraid to use it.
I use Pompeian brand and it says gluten free on the back of the bottle. I’ve used this brand for years and have never had an issue and I’m extremely sensitive. I love their red wine vinegar too!
Thank you. I’ll look for it. I have a bottle of unopened Alessi “raspberry blush” that I’ve been afraid to use and probably never will.
