Instructions
1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a cast iron pan or an oven-safe pan into the oven to heat for 10-15 minutes. 2: Cut the eggplant lengthwise then score the top in a diagonal checkered pattern. Brush the top of the eggplant with the oil, then season with salt. 3: Remove the pan from the oven, add a bit of olive oil, then place the eggplant face down. Place in the oven for 10-14 minutes, until the top is browned. 4: While the eggplant cooks, make the glaze. Add the jelly, tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and garlic to a small bowl. Mix to combine. 5: Remove the eggplant from the oven and carefully flip it over. Brush the glaze over the top then place it back in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the top is caramelized and the eggplant is tender. 6: Next, make the sesame sauce. Add the tahini, water, rice vinegar, salt, sesame oil, and pepper to a small bowl. Whisk well until smooth. 7: Serve the eggplant topped with the sesame seeds, scallions, and red pepper flakes.View original recipe
