Receta Asian Eggplant Parmesan
· October 2, 2015
My garden produced a bumper crop of these delicious little Asian eggplants this year.
For the past month I’ve been grilling them and using them in stir fries. I’ve discovered that they are much more tasty than the traditional purple eggplants, which had me wondering how they would taste as Eggplant Parmesan, healthy eggplant Parmesan that is. I didn’t bread them and fry them. I roasted them in the oven until the flesh became creamy and the skins just a tiny bit crisp on the edges.
I cut them in half and brushed them with a mixture of garlic and olive oil.
I roasted them in the oven until the flesh turned soft.
Then I topped them with sauce added a little bit of mozzarella cheese and popped them back into the oven for a few minutes and voila! Quick, easy healthy and delicious eggplant Parmesan.
