Directions
What is eggplant parmesan? Traditionally eggplant parmesan is breaded eggplant that is fried them topped with sauce and cheese before baking. I made this lighter low-carb version by roasting the eggplant in the oven instead and skipping the breadcrumbs altogether. Its delicious and perfect to make ahead and freeze or send to a friend in need!,,This is the way my Mom always made Eggplant Parmesan, and I always preferred it this way over the deep fried breaded version. It does take some time to make, but its so worth it! The eggplant is layered with sauce and cheese, and almost becomes like a noodle-less eggplant lasagna, its so good! It melts right in your mouth with each bite. For best flavor, I always use a good Parmesan cheese or Romano cheese like Locatelli or Reggiano cheese.,Eggplant Rollatini with Spinach,Eggplant Meatballs,Stuffed Eggplant Parmesan,Baked Eggplant Sticks
