This Grilled Chili Lime Eggplant is the perfect addition to your next barbecue.
I like that it can be enjoyed on the side or as the main course.
Grilled Chili Lime Eggplant
When you are tired of seeing the usual hot dogs, chicken, etc on the grill it is time to try something new.
At least that is the case on my patio. I like to introduce something a different to the usual grilling mix.
When I was at the store the other day, I noticed that they had just gotten in some fresh eggplants.
This gave me the idea that I should try to grill sliced eggplant on the grill. By the way, you can enjoy grilled eggplant as the main course or on the side.
I have a thing for Trader Joe’s Seasonings.
In the case of this recipe, I will be more specific in saying the chili lime seasoning from Trader Joe’s. And since I live in a town that has no Trader Joe I find seasonings such as this one online. Unfortunately, I like those Trader Joe chili lime almonds as well. However, you can use other kinds of chili lime seasoning as well.
