Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 large eggplant, skin left on, cut thinly across (to make rounds)
2-3 small zucchini, skin on, cut in thin strips lengthwise
Marinade:
½ cup canola or vegetable oil
3 tbsp lemon juice
4-5 tbsp soy sauce
2-3 tbsp sesame oil
1 green onion (scallion), thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small piece of fresh ginger (about 1”), chopped (or 1 ½ tsp ground ginger)

Directions:
1. Combine all the marinade ingredients and pour over the vegetables. Let them marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or so.

2. Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C

3. Transfer the veggies to a lipped cookie sheet (I always line them with foil so it’s easier to clean up). Roast for 20 minutes or so, spooning marinade over the top occasionally.
