A spicy side dish-a great compliment to any meal.

This is the perfect appetizer for a nice Italian dinner!

A low Carb Option

This is a lasagna made with Eggplant, instead of traditional pasta noodles. This is really a great tasting dish. This has been confirmed by the kids who will eat it, without knowing they are eating eggplant. I was once told that if the kids eat it, it must be pretty good. I hope you try it.

I just made this up with the ingredients I had on hand. I think it turned out pretty tasty.
I didn't realize how healthy it was before I entered it in the recipe calculator- 19% of your daily iron, 8g fiber, and 10g protein, all with only 211 calories. Not too shabby.

We love these baked eggplant slices as a main meal, as a sandwich filling or as a topping for an italian salad!

Inspired by the animated feature film, Ratatouille, this veggie-packed dish makes six healthy and hearty servings.

This recipe is quick and simple as well as a one pan oven dish. Goes very well with any pasta side dish.

A delicious combination of flavors that will remind you of summer even if cooking the dish in the dead of winter since most of the ingredients are available year round. You can add any other type of favorite veggie to this.

I love rich, cheesy lasagna, but in the summer when vegetables are at their peak, cheese overwhelms the dish. Adding plenty of fresh vegetables (easily and perfectly sliced using OXO V-Blade Mandoline) to your regular lasagna for a healthy, light summer supper. Omit any vegetables you don't like, and swap for what you've got in your fridge. (Add spinach or any other green, more fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, chopped and steamed broccoli or asparagus... the possibilities are endless.)

I found this on line at eatingwell.com

My husband who doesn't really liked eggplant thought it was pretty tasty too!!

A tasty dip for veggies or bread (a great spread as well).

What a great dish for one of those nights when your kids have a late soccer game! Brown the meat, layer in the ingredients, set your slow cooker on low and go!

NOTE: If you can't find the Italian five-cheese blend, mozzarella will work just fine.

Important: Cooking time should not exceed 4 hours. This is not an "all day" slow cooker meal.

Great low-fat, low-carb side dish OR entree

This colorful low-sodium cholesterol-free vegetable baked dish is prepared without any added fat.

This is the most basic of the spreads. You can find a variation of this recipe in almost any grocery store, but 95 percent of them are made with either olive oil or tahini (sesame paste), which pushes up the fat content. Your best bet is to take three minutes and make a batch on Sunday that will last you for the week.

This is a very tasty dish that can be modified based on your liking. Use the vegetables listed or pick some of your own

a great way to uses vegetable scraps

A classic dish my way (I love garlic! :) )

A one-dish recipe - awesome; you gotta try it!

Serve as a side dish or over pasta or rice as a main dish.

This is a great sauce for serving over your favorite pasta, on pizzas, eggplant parm, chicken parm, lasagna, baked ziti or manicotti.

You may simmer this for 24 hours.
This is to reduce the water for a smooth non-runny sauce.

This makes a homestyle custard type macaroni and cheese. You can easily add extra vegetables (bell peppers, summer squash, and eggplant are all delicious) to give it a nutrition boost.

This recipe has been healthy-fied from an older version that I've had for years. I've thrown the old less healthy version out the door!! WooHoo!

The wheat germ absorbes moisture so the sauce won't run right out when cutting. It also provides fiber. If you do not have wheat germ handy just replace it with one large egg.

Also, use whatever veggies you have on hand! This recipe will also be great with eggplant, zucchini, carrots, etc.

Enjoy! *Also freezes great (think convenience!)

This is identical to my eggplant parmesan recipe BUT it serves six instead of four and unlike the other does not include noodles or sauce. Sometimes I just want the eggplant part (or I do not have time to make more noodles) and I wanted a reflection of that in my tracker (i.e. 250 calories less!). Let me reiterate: this is not "diet" eggplant parmesan. This is delicious authentic eggplant parmesan with no "shortcuts." It is worth EVERY bite.

Healthy Middle-Eastern dip for pita, veggies or as a spread on sandwiches

Healthier version of Eggplant Parmesan. No frying!

This eggplant parmesan has a more interesting sauce than the usual marinara, and it's easy to make while the eggplant is being oven-fried. Flavorful and filling, while still being healthy, it's far better than the original fried version (imho). Makes 8 servings (roughly 5-6 slices of eggplant plus sauce each).

This has a tasty spice to it and a nice cream from the yogurt

This recipe is a little reward for me for the weekend, You can change the ingredients to suit your tastes but i just love it.... I also take individual portions and freeze them they reheat in the microwave

This delicious recipe will help you get to your vegetable servings

This is a great side dish for any occasion where little color and great taste are necessary.

From Clean Eating Magazine

Quick, easy, and healthy. Not only a tasty lunch (spread it on toasted or grilled breads) but is also a wonderful dip for cut vegetables or crackers. This may be served warm or at room temperature.

I used a TON of sauce and cheese in this recipe...you can certainly cut down the calories by using fat free/reduced fat cheese, or by using only 1/2 cup of each the cheese and sauce. Also, baking the eggplant in the over as opposed to frying them will use far less olive oil (eggplant is very absorbent, so it sucks the olive oil up like a sponge, which is why I ended up using so much...)

This is a recipe from my GI book I like it

These are a great alternative to meatballs. They are so tasty you don't even know that you are eating eggplant!

This is from the show "Cook Yourself Thin" and includes everything but the pesto. It cuts the calories in half, too, and is JUST as delicious!

Quick and easy eggplant recipe - makes a great side for chicken

Easy to make, yummy to eat!

This is my Mom's recipe...She never used breadcrumbs or purged the Eggplant and I have loved this dish since I was a child. It is very satisfying as it is full of flavor and cheesy while still be "diet" friendly.

I am not a fan of cooked bell peppers as they seem to overpower the other flavors in dishes for me. So this may not be a traditional "ratatouille" but its a great way to get rid of the abundance of random veggies (eggplant, squash & tomatoes) that decided to grow all of a sudden in the garden :) Even the neighbor kids loved it!

This is my low cal low fat version of Eggplant Parmesan.
FYI:
1. If you don't have frozen onions or peppers and have to use fresh make sure you cook them in a few tbs of water or chicken broth until they are slitely softened. They might not cook threw if not cooked partly.
2. Sharp Provolone Cheese will taste great in this dish. The Oregano compliments the cheese very well.

TIPS:
1. Freezing garlic cloves make for fast grating and they store longer than in the frig.
2. This is great on a toasted sub roll rubbed with fresh gallic clove for a nice lunch as well.

It is kind of like ratatouille for people (like me) who do not like eggplant or want something lower in carbs

You can actually saute any veggies you like it will just change the calorie count!

sneak in those veggies again!

baked eggplant turkey sausage ground turkey and bow ties

This is a great warm dish, I like to serve it beside chicken or steak.
