Eggplant casserole is a hearty dish featuring layers of sliced eggplant baked with tomatoes, onions, garlic, olive oil, cheese, and often breadcrumbs or ground meat. Originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, it showcases the rich flavors and cooking traditions of these regions. Eggplant, the star ingredient, is a nutrient-dense vegetable loaded with fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like B6 and C. The olive oil adds heart-healthy fats, while tomatoes contribute lycopene, a beneficial antioxidant. However, the casserole's nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation; versions with excessive cheese or heavy oils may be higher in calories and saturated fat. For a lighter option, substituting low-fat cheese or reducing added oil can enhance its healthfulness. Eggplant casserole is both comforting and versatile, offering a delicious way to incorporate vegetables into your diet.
