Spicy Eggplant Parmesan is a bold, flavorful twist on the classic Italian-inspired dish. This recipe features tender slices of eggplant, breaded and baked to perfection, layered with spicy marinara sauce, melted mozzarella, and fresh Parmesan cheese. Originating from the Mediterranean, it showcases the versatility of eggplant—a nutrient-packed vegetable rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. The dish captures the essence of comfort food while incorporating heart-healthy ingredients. However, its richness comes from cheese and breadcrumbs, which add calories and sodium. Baking the eggplant instead of frying reduces fat content, making it a lighter alternative. Adding chili flakes or other spices enhances flavor without additional fats or sugars. Perfect for vegetarians and fans of Mediterranean cuisine, Spicy Eggplant Parmesan balances indulgence and wholesome ingredients for a satisfying meal. Pair it with a green salad for added nutrients and a complementary crunch.
