Eggplant Parmesan is a classic Italian-American dish that combines tender slices of breaded and fried eggplant layered with marinara sauce, gooey melted mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. Typically baked to perfection, this dish showcases the rich flavors of Italian cuisine, offering a hearty and satisfying vegetarian option. Eggplants are a low-calorie vegetable packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, promoting heart and gut health. However, the preparation often involves frying the eggplant in oil and using generous amounts of cheese, which can increase calories, fat, and sodium content. Opting for baked eggplant and reduced-fat cheese can make this dish lighter while preserving its comforting flavors. Pair it with a side of fresh greens or whole-grain pasta for a balanced meal. Eggplant Parmesan exemplifies how traditional recipes can be both indulgent and adaptable to healthier cooking methods.
