INSTRUCTIONS
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)
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.
