To make this dish vegan, replace the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. If you don't have white miso paste, you can use any type of miso paste you have on hand, but the flavour will be slightly different. You can serve the roasted aubergine as a side dish or as a main meal with rice or noodles. Don't overcrowd the roasting dish or the aubergine slices will steam instead of roast. Use a larger dish or roast the aubergine in batches if necessary. For an extra kick of heat, add chopped chilli to the miso and honey mixture.
