Cut into cubes, stir-fry with onions, peppers, mushrooms, any other veggies you like to stirfry with, add plenty of seasoning and cook until soft-ish and then add some diced tomatoes and a little paste and viola, delicioso over salad, by itself, pasta, rice, whatever!0

I like to cube it with other veggies (tomatoes, zucchini, etc), season, roast in oven and add to pasta.0

My favorite is to just slice it up really thin and bake it with a little olive oil. Then I just eat it with some Greek Yogurt. It's super good! Just don't forget to salt rinse it first so it's not as bitter.0

Eggplant Roll ups!! Its basically low carb lasagna, so good!
Slice and bake each side for 10 minutes at 415. While in oven, sautee ground turkey, onions,garlic, spinach with spices then mix with light ricotta cheese when cooled. When eggplant noodles are done let cool down then place a spoon full of mixture and roll up. Add tomato sauce to the tops of each and bake for 20 minutes at 400.0 -
Eggplant meatballs. Vegan yet adored by omnivores. If you don't have nutritional yeast you can probably substitute grated parmesan. The flax is necessary though.
1 large eggplant, peeled and finely diced (1/2 inch or smaller)
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp ground flax seeds + 1/4 cup water, whisked together and allowed to sit for 10 minutes or more
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1 cup bread crumbs
marinara sauce, for serving
This Sound Really Good Ty

Salt-dry the eggplant. Preheat oven to 375. Saute onion in oil for a minute, then add the garlic for a minute, then add the eggplant and cook until smashable. Mix the flax and water and let sit, then add it to everything else and smash it. Make balls and bake, turning frequently, for about 40 minutes.0 -
Easy Eggplant Pizza - Here's my recipe. One large eggplant sliced lengthwise in 1/2" slices. Salt both sides and let drain for about one hour. Blot dry, put on sprayed foil on cookie sheet and bake in slow oven (225 degrees) for an hour or more. Can keep and save in fridge or use right away. Spread lightly with tomato paste and top with basil, oregano, chopped garlic, sliced mushrooms, sliced pepperoni and chopped onion. Lastly top with some fresh bits of mozzarella. Bake at 425 degrees for about 10 minutes more or less. Add or subtract toppings to your liking.0

Gordon Ramsey's version of Baba Ganoush
Also eggplant is my favorite fried food, use panko and make sure the oil is 360. So reasonable in calories that it is actually easy to work in my lifestyle.0 -
Imam Bayidi although it would probably be worth cutting back on the olive oil :-)0

Aargh so many of the best aubergine recipes are so full of oil...
I love melanzane parmigiana - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3091674/melanzane-parmigiana
Berenjenas fritas con miel is a great Spanish tapas dish - slice aubergines into chips/fries, soak in beer for a few minutes, then dip in seasoned flour and deep fry, drizzle with honey. Amazing but not exactly a healthy option...
Ratatouille is always good and a healthy option.
I sometimes add them to vegetable or chicken curries - works well in thai red or green curry.0 -
ALSO::
Cut in half longways
Scrape out a strip of the "meat"
Fill the carved strip with canned mushrooms, stewed tomatoes, grilled chicken, canned chickpeas, corn or whatever else you have lying around
Bake until it's all soft and kind of squishy ---(i know im so technical lol)
Sprinkle mozzarella on at the end and broil for about 2 minutes
This is great for parties because you can slice it up and serve it with mini toasts or pull apart sourdough.
This is amazing! I make my eggplant very similar and it comes out delicious every time!0
