I used fresh herbs and skipped the sugar. Surprising amount of flavor for the amount of the marinade and the time it is in it. I had thin eggplants so I only cut them in half lengthwise. They were done in about 10 minutes.

Delicious and super easy to make! Husband and kids loved it. The 4 of us happily finished 2 eggplants with some grilled fish. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you for sharing!

This was REALLY good! I used 1t of dried basil and skipped the salt in the herb mix as I prefer to let everyone salt to their own preference. Next time I make this I think I'll add an extra T of olive oil...the marinade was thick (pasty consistency) and it was hard to get it evenly spread. But this was quick, easy, has basic ingredients, and YUMMY! Thanks for sharing!
