    I just slice it up, spice it up, and throw it on the grill. Yum!

    Make baked eggplant parmesean. Just slice, coat lightly with breadcrumbs and parmesean cheese. Bake. Dust with cinnamon (trust me) and top with tomato sauce. You could even melt a little mozarella on it (a little). Delish. If you're watching calories, go easy on the olive oil with eggplant...it soaks it up like a sponge.

    One thing I love to do with eggplant:

    bread it and spray a pan and bake it until tender and browned
    Add it on a roll with fresh mozzarella slice, artichoke hearts and a tomato. Drizzle with a touch of balsamic vineager.

    YUM!!!!!

    I made this the other day, it was yummy and the entire dish (8 generous servings) is only 5 WW points, if you're counting:

    1 can fire-roasted tomatoes
    1 eggplant
    1 green bell pepper
    3 carrots (medium- to large-sized)
    1/2 medium white onion
    1/3 Cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
    2 Tbs grated Parmesan cheese

    1. Cut carrots into medium-sized pieces and microwave until tender, then dice.
    2. Slice bell pepper and eggplant and grill (or sauté), then dice.
    3. Dice onion (grill first if desired).
    4. Mix veggies in an oven-safe dish and add tomatoes. Stir well, and heat in oven until hot through.
    5. Top with breadcrumbs and cheese and bake 10 minutes.

    Slice it, roast it in the oven until soft inside, and top with hummus. Or tahini and feta cheese.

    Chop it, cover it in salt and let it drain for 30 minutes. Meanwhile sautee 2 onions with garlic in olive oil. Rinse the eggplant, put it in, and add a drained can of diced tomatoes. Top with parsley and/or cilantro. Enjoy. http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-make-georgian-eggplant

    Easy, and my favorite: Slice, brush both sides with olive oil and roast in a 400F oven until tender and browned on both sides, turning once. Sprinkle with sea salt - yum!

    Peel it, cut in pieces along with peppers and onions, olive oil and whatever seasoning you like and stick it in the oven. I love this as a side to fish or chicken. I think I got it from South Beach.

    Eggplant parmesan is amazing too! Not exactly low cal though

    ^^This! You must do this, no matter what else you decide to do with it.

    Eggplant works as a great substitute for bread. Slice it thin, salt, pepper, and then grill. You can use it to replace the bread in any kind of sandwich, but it really works wonders as the bread replacement for a grill cheese (I use soy pepper jack). Or you can slice them really thin, salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and a lil bit of olive oil and bake them until they are crisps, kinda becomes a potato chip replacement.

    I like the ratatouille too. I sautee onions, garlic, tomatoes, zuchini, squash, egg plant, red, green and yellow peppers, in a sauce pan in olive oil. Once they are nice and tender, I put them in a baking pan and sprinkle them with a bit of parmesan cheese. Yummy!
