I love a good veggie-packed dinner recipe, and this Eggplant Parmesan hits all the right notes. It\u2019s a simple and classic recipe, but oh-so-good! I layer slices of baked eggplant with homemade marinara and plenty of cheese to create the ultimate<\/em> comfort food. This is one of those recipes that turned out so good that I ate TWO helpings of it\u2026which completely goes against my Budget Bytes principles (eat only what you need, not what you want). But hey, sometimes you just have to indulge. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n

Easy Recipe for eggplant Parmesan<\/h2>\n
\n

Normally, eggplant Parmesan involves breaded and fried eggplant layered with marinara and cheese. I love eggplant and happen to think that frying it completely ruins the delicate flavor. So, I\u2019ve opted to bake my slices of eggplant instead, which also cuts down on the prep time and is better for you! This recipe does have a few steps, but aside from salting and breading the eggplant, it\u2019s pretty hands-off. It\u2019s the perfect alternative to chicken Parmesan<\/a> when you want a meatless meal!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
