    How to Prepare Marinated Eggplant with Capers and Mint [Vegan]

    1. Spread eggplant on paper towel–lined baking sheet, sprinkle each side with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and let sit for 30 minutes.
    2. Adjust oven rack 4 inches from broiler element and heat broiler. Pat eggplant thoroughly dry with paper towels, arrange on aluminum foil–lined rimmed baking sheet in single layer, and lightly brush both sides with 1 tablespoon oil. Broil eggplant until mahogany brown and lightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes per side.
    3. Whisk remaining 3 tablespoons oil, vinegar, capers, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, and pepper together in large bowl. Add eggplant and mint and gently toss to combine.
    4. Let eggplant cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Season with pepper to taste, and serve.

    Notes

    Marinated eggplant can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
