  • Preheat the broiler and lightly oil a baking sheet.

  • Cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Brush the remaining 2 tablespoons oil on both sides of the eggplant slices and transfer to the baking sheet. Broil the eggplant 5 to 6 inches from the heat until golden and cooked through, flipping halfway through, about 10 minutes.

  • To serve, arrange the eggplant on a serving platter and spoon some of the mint vinaigrette over the eggplant.

Make Ahead

The vinaigrette can be made 2 hours ahead and stored, covered, at room temperature.
