Grilled eggplants are a side dish that many people generally enjoy.
This type of side dish is definitely more common to prepare in the summer when there is an abundance both in supermarkets and in our gardens, for those who grow them at home, and therefore you are also more inclined to prepare recipes with eggplants.
When having classic dinners, at least at my house, I often prepare eggplants and grilled zucchinis, roasted peppers and they are also a great solution, especially because we can prepare them in advance and freeze them.
Have you ever tried grilling eggplants and freezing them?
I do it often, just defrost them in time and pat them dry a little with a paper towel, then season them and they are perfect!
Once seasoned, they keep in the fridge for a few days, the important thing is to cover them well and keep them well covered with extra virgin olive oil.
If you make any of my recipes, send me the photos and I will publish them on my page with your name.
Follow my recipe and if you like, write to me how you prepare them.

Preparation of grilled eggplants
Wash the eggplants, cut them into slices and place them in layers in a colander with a bowl underneath, sprinkling a bit of salt between one layer and another.
Place an inverted plate on top of the eggplants with a weight on top and leave them like that for at least 4-5 hours. After the time has passed, drain them well and grill on a non-stick pan on both sides.
Once all the eggplants are grilled, place them in a container in layers, that is, a layer of eggplants, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a little salt, garlic, and chopped parsley, then another layer of eggplants, and so on.
Put everything in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
Between one layer and another, don’t overdo it with the salt seasoning especially.
