Preparation Steps

  1. Step 1/7

    Preheat the oven to 425. Place a cast iron pan or an oven-safe pan into the oven to heat for 10-15 minutes.

  2. Step 2/7

    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. Step 3/7

    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. Step 4/7

    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. Step 5/7

    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. Step 6/7

    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. Step 7/7

    Serve the eggplant topped with the sesame seeds, scallions and red pepper flakes.
