Baked Miso Glazed Eggplant is a flavorful and healthy Japanese-inspired dish. The dish features eggplant, which is sliced and coated in a mixture of miso paste, soy sauce, and other seasonings, and then baked until tender and caramelized. The miso paste lends a savory, umami flavor to the dish, while the soy sauce adds saltiness and depth.

The result is a tender and flavorful eggplant dish that can be served as a main or side dish. Baked Miso Glazed Eggplant is often garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, which provide a fresh crunch and nuttiness to the dish.
