Eggplant Parmi

Before

After

As highlighted in my original blog post, the Eggplant Parmi makes an excellent side dish. Eggplant is a fantastic vegetable and I personally enjoy it roasted with a touch of oil. However, that wasn't exciting enough for the family—so I introduced the Parmi style. By adding a few elements and roasting it, you elevate the flavor and fun factor of what is typically a bland vegetable.

Ingredients

Eggplant (sliced thinly)

Cheese

Tomato

Ham

Options Extras

Salt and pepper

Tomato Paste (as a substitute for tomato)

Method

1 . Top eggplant slice with ham, tomato and cheese

2. Place in oven (roughly 180 degrees Celsius for a fan-forced oven) for 20-25 mins

3. Serve Up!

Conclusion

This side dish is absolutely a winner! It's delicious and a bit intriguing. According to Diabetes Australia, eggplant (or aubergine) is packed with nutrition, low in carbs, and low in calories—making it the perfect vegetable to incorporate into your meals whenever you can!
