Spicy Miso Eggplant Tacos

Silky eggplant is coated in a savory miso-sesame marinade and roasted until caramelized and tender. Sweet peppers are tossed in vibrant lime juice and drizzled with spicy chili-garlic sauce. Crunchy, toasted peanuts add bold textural contrast to these high-protein, high-fiber tacos.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Roast the eggplant

Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush 2 tsp vegetable oil on foil-lined baking sheet. Add eggplant rounds and brush with 1 tsp vegetable oil. Roast until softened, about 10 minutes. (4-servings: use 4 tsp vegetable oil, 2 tsp vegetable oil)

2
Finish the miso eggplant

Whisk together just half the miso, garlic, mirin, tamari, sugar, just half the lime juice, sesame oil, and a pinch of pepper in medium bowl. Brush onto both sides of eggplant. Continue to roast until eggplant is golden brown and soft, 12 to 14 minutes. (TIP: Keep remaining miso for your own use.)

3
Marinate the peppers

Stir together peppers, remaining lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl.

4
Serve

Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven to warm, 4 to 5 minutes. Divide warm tortillas between plates, add miso eggplant, and drizzle with chili garlic sauce. Top with chopped peanuts, marinated peppers, and cilantro. ¡Buen apetito!
