Baked eggplant is a versatile dish commonly found in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines. Prepared by slicing eggplant and roasting it in the oven, this dish often features olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices for enhanced flavor. Eggplant is naturally low in calories and rich in fiber, making it a great choice for promoting digestive health. It is also a source of antioxidants like nasunin, which supports cellular health, and vitamins such as B6 and C. While incredibly nutritious, the preparation can impact the calorie content—using excessive oil may elevate the fat levels. When baked with heart-healthy ingredients like olive oil and paired with fresh vegetables or lean proteins, baked eggplant becomes a wholesome and flavorful addition to a balanced diet. Its soft texture and earthy taste make it a popular choice in plant-based meals and appetizers like baba ghanoush or eggplant parmesan.
