Roasted Eggplant Sandwich with Soy-Lime Glaze image

In this vegetarian sandwich that's an ode to the Vietnamese banh mi, eggplant slices are brushed with a sweet-and-briny glaze of soy sauce, lime, rice vinegar, and garlic, then roasted to perfection. They emerge creamy from the oven and counterbalance the tangy snap of the quick-pickled carrot, radishes, and cucumber that are piled on top.

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 medium eggplants (1 1/2 pounds total), stems trimmed, cut crosswise into 1-inch rounds (about 12 slices)
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
5 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 carrot, peeled and julienned
2 radishes, julienned
1 mini cucumber, thinly sliced
1 loaf soft French bread
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves or small sprigs

Steps:

  • Sprinkle eggplant slices generously with salt; arrange on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let stand 30 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels. In a bowl, stir together soy sauce, lime juice, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and garlic.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange eggplant in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush both sides of eggplant with oil. Roast, flipping halfway, until golden brown and very tender, about 30 minutes. Brush both sides of eggplant with soy mixture; continue roasting until caramelized, 7 to 10 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, toss together carrot, radishes, cucumber, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 4 tablespoons vinegar and 1 teaspoon sugar.
  • Slice bread into quarters and halve lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise on cut sides and top with roasted eggplant, pickled vegetables, jalapeño, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
