This is a dish that is sure to wow your family or dinner guests, and rest assured, our eggplant fan looks as good as it tastes! If you’ve never done much cooking with eggplant we highly recommend giving it a try. It is a “meaty” vegetable that roasts beautifully and offers heartiness to any dish. Eggplant can be dressed up in any number of combinations and goes will with a wide variety of cuisines – Italian, Greek, or Mexican – making eggplant super versatile.

The eggplant does need a little preparation time. When roasting, eggplant will release a lot of its juices, so to avoid a soggy mess, take a few minutes prior to roasting to salt the eggplant in order to expel some of those juices. Other than that little bit of prep, this recipe comes together fairly quickly and then the oven does the rest of the work! We love this because it’s a sneaky way to get the family to eat more vegetables; including the eggplant, we’ve got corn and white beans which add sweetness and texture. To add a little richness, finish roasting with a generous topping of cheese that will melt and crisp into major mouthwatering deliciousness. We hope your hungry crowd enjoys this dish as much as ours does!
