For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the olive oil-garlic mixture. If you don't have an outdoor grill, a grill pan on the stovetop or broiling in the oven works well. Adjust cooking times accordingly. Balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness and acidity that complements the grilled eggplant beautifully. Drizzle lightly before serving. Feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs like oregano, thyme, or mint.
