Ingredients:
- 1 large eggplant
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese alternative, Soyco
Directions:
Preheat the oven to the broil setting. Wash and pat dry the eggplant. Trim off the stem end, slice it in half lengthwise, and then slice each half into half-moon slices about 1/4 inch thick. Place in a single layer on a rack in the broiler pan. Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with the cheese alternative.
Broil in the oven 3 to 4 inches from the heat until tender and browned, about 5 minutes each side. When turning the slices over, repeat brushing with oil and sprinkling with cheese. Remove from the oven and serve.
