How to Prepare Grilled Eggplant With Lemon Basil Drizzle [Vegan]

  1. Lightly brush your grill pan with a little bit of olive oil and preheat.

  6. Remove and keep warm.
  7. Place all drizzle ingredients into a blender and pulse until combined.
  8. Assemble the side salad, serve the eggplant strips and pour over the lemon basil drizzle.
