Roasted eggplant is a versatile dish commonly featured in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Known for its smoky, tender texture and rich flavor, roasted eggplant is created by cooking the vegetable at high heat, often drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with herbs or spices. Nutritionally, eggplant is low in calories and high in fiber, making it a great choice for digestive health. It is rich in antioxidants, such as nasunin, which supports brain health and fights free radicals, and contains vitamins like B6, K, and C. However, preparation methods such as excessive use of oil can increase calorie content, so moderation is key for a balanced dish. Roasted eggplant is often served as a side, blended into dips like baba ghanoush, or incorporated into hearty dishes, adding depth and nutrition to meals while remaining gluten-free and plant-based.
