Miso Baked Aubergine

I recently got given a bag full of the most beautiful aubergines and had to quickly figure out what to do with them before they all went to waste. So I ended up making a huge tray full of these miso baked aubergines and quickly fell in love. They are now part of my weekly meal prep rotation and are a great way to get those purple veggies in!
