The grocery next to me has eggplant for $.89/# and I'm thinking that that might be something that I want to try. Anyone have any suggestions on GOOD healthy ways to cook them?

    Ratatouille is a favorite around here... basically a vegetable stew that has eggplant, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, a little olive oil and some seasonings. Lots of recipes on the 'net. I don't have a specific one I use, I just grab one that looks good at the moment. (HINT: Google "Ratatouille recipe" otherwise, you'll get a ton of hits for a movie about a rodent. :happy:

    This sounds yummy! I wonder if I could use egg substitute and ground up fiber 1 crumbs? that sounds like a hungry-girl recipe actually. I'll have to check her site and my cookbooks :)

    The ratatouille sounds awesome too!

    Keep 'em coming!

    slice into 1/2 - 3/4 inch slices and lightly brush with garlic and seasoning infused olive oil...bake at 400* until light brown and flip..brown other side. These slices are great for sandwiches, lasagnes and pizza!!!:happy:

    all i do is slice it and bake it in the oven, then top with some tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. simple and low calorie.

    I :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: eggplant!

    I slice them up in to pieces and saute w/ a little extra virgin olive oil (with lite covered) until soft. Eat them w/ grilled or baked chicken or baked salmon and it is delicious!!!!

    I slice it into very thin slices lengthwise, dip them in milk then bread crumbs, spoon low fat ricotta cheese (seasoned with italian spices or whatever seasoning you prefer) on to the slices and roll them up. Place them in a baking pan and bake for about 45 minutes in a 350 oven. I cover them in spaghetti sauce about 10 minutes before pulling them out.
