Eggplant Parmesan is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine that combines rich flavors and hearty textures. This dish features slices of eggplant that are either baked or fried, coated in breadcrumbs, and layered with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese before being baked to perfection. Eggplant is low in calories and a good source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it a nutritious base for the dish. The marinara sauce adds lycopene, a beneficial antioxidant found in tomatoes. However, Eggplant Parmesan can be high in calories and fat due to the cheese and frying process, depending on preparation methods. Opting for baking instead of frying and using reduced-fat cheese can make this dish healthier while preserving its delicious flavor. Eggplant Parmesan offers a satisfying taste experience and can be enjoyed as a vegetarian main course or a side dish.
