2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated ginger

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Brush the glaze generously over both sides of the eggplant steaks.
Place the eggplant steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the eggplants are tender and caramelized.
