Grilled Eggplants with Thyme and Oregano

This is one of the simplest yet tastiest eggplant recipes made by me! All you need is some fresh eggplants, a combination of herbs and a hot wooden grill. Earlier, I used to make this recipe by shallow frying but eggplants were absorbing a lot of oil during the entire process. The grilled version is comparatively much tastier and needs less oil. You can also make grilled zucchini in the same way with a bit more spices. If a wooden grill is not available in your home, you can microwave these eggplants with a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil. You can also squeeze fresh lime juice on the grilled eggplants for a tangy and smoky flavor that's almost irresistible. Let's make this recipe right now!
