Directions
Cheesy Low-Carb Eggplant Parmesan, I LOVE eggplant parmesan, and this is my favorite version that I’ve come up with so far I made it low-carb when my husband and I were on the South Beach diet a few years ago, and I actually prefer it this way now! To mix things up, I’ll sometimes add fresh basil and/or zucchini slices in between layers, or use bulk sausage instead of hamburger, but it’s wonderful just the way it is , Peeled, sliced, salted eggplant Let it set about 45 minutes, blotted with paper towels then proceeded with recipe instructions, coating with egg and parmesan, etc , My husband is borderline diabetic and we have been working with a nutritionist to control his blood glucose levels with food rather than medicines We have tried all kinds of new foods and recipes and this one, hands down, has been one of his favorites I basically followed it as written with one exception I sliced, salted and soaked the eggplant as recommended by many chefs His blood glucose was under 120 for his evening test and in the morning after as well, so it is perfect for those looking for keto-friendly, low carb The entire family loved it It was easy to make and tasted great!
