The humble eggplant doesn’t get paid its dues. On its own or as a substitute for meat, it is low in calories and carbs, and rich in Vitamin C, B6, and K among others. Here are some recipes to try:
Make eggplant pizza. Bake slices of eggplant. Add it to your pizza base with a tomato base and all your other favorite toppings. Bake the pizzas and serve them hot.
You can make an eggplant dip by adding garlic, salt, parsley, tahini and lemon juice. This makes a particularly delectable snack dip or spread called Baba Ghanoush.
Make a vegan Bolognese using eggplant instead of ground beef (mince). Season it with your favorite herbs and spices to create a classic Italian flavor.
Create your classic parmesan breadcrumb and flour dip mixture seasoned with your favorite herbs and spices. Dip slices of eggplant into the mixture and bake in the oven.
