Teriyaki Glazed Aubergine
This has to be the ultimate way of cooking an aubergine and it's made so easy using the Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker. They're a delicious side dish or centre piece to a meal and are super simple to prepare. The aubergine becomes really soft and just absorbs all of that incredible flavour from the teriyaki glaze!
- Contains sesame
Ingredients
- 1 large aubergine
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp tamari sauce
- 1 tbsp agave syrup
- A pinch of grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove (crushed)
- A pinch of chilli flakes
- Juice of ½ a lime
- A sprinkle of sesame seeds
Instructions
Step 1
Slice the aubergine in half length ways and score a criss cross pattern over the inside of both pieces (this will help the marinade to absorb all the flavour)
Step 2
Coat the aubergine in a tsp of sesame oil and rub this all over. Place the aubergine into the cooking basket with 150ml water in the bottom of the Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker. Set to ‘Air Crisp' at 200c and cook for 10 minutes
Step 3
Meanwhile, mix together the sesame oil, tamari, agave, ginger, garlic, lime and chilli flakes to make the marinade. Add a splash of water if needed. You want the mixture to be a little sticky
Step 4
Pour this over the aubergine and into all of the slits you made earlier, then cook for a further 15 minutes until beautifully soft and crisp around the edges
Step 5
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve!
