Apple Cider Vinegar2 tablespoons
Garlic (minced)2 cloves
Dried Oregano1 teaspoon
Dried Basil1/2 teaspoon
Paprika1/2 teaspoon
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

1Slice the eggplant into rounds or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
2In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3Place the eggplant slices in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
4Pour the marinade over the eggplant, ensuring that each slice is coated evenly.
5Cover the dish or seal the bag and let the eggplant marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to develop.
6Preheat a grill, oven, or skillet over medium-high heat.
7If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates and cook the marinated eggplant slices for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they are tender and lightly charred.
8If roasting, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly golden.
9If pan-frying, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the marinated eggplant slices for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they are soft and nicely browned.
10Remove the cooked eggplant from the heat and let it cool slightly.
11Serve the keto-marinated eggplant as a side dish or appetizer. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled.
