Eggplant Parmesan is a classic Italian-American dish featuring breaded eggplant slices layered with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, baked until bubbly and golden. Typically served as a hearty vegetarian entrée, it showcases the versatility of eggplant, which is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like B6 and potassium. The marinara sauce adds vitamin C and lycopene from tomatoes. While delicious, its nutritional profile can vary—traditional recipes call for frying the eggplant, increasing calorie and fat content. Healthier versions often opt for baking, cutting back on oil use. Though relatively high in saturated fat due to the cheese, its wholesome ingredients offer a flavorful source of nutrients when enjoyed in moderation. Eggplant Parmesan embodies comfort food at its finest, blending authentic Italian flavors with a touch of indulgence.
