Purple Reign: Eggplant Recipes Fit for Royalty 🍆🍆🍆


Hello Reader,

Can I tell you a secret? I was not a huge fan of eggplant. But this veggie vixen grows so well in my area that a few years ago I began a mission to find a way to fall in love with this purple princess 🍆👑.

And I am happy to report back that I successfully completed my objective. And you get to share in the reward.

And while I did come up with one fantastic gluten-free eggplant parm recipe, it hasn't been the go-to in my house. That honor goes to... drum roll, please...

Eggplant Rollatini

The best eggplant recipe ever. Soft eggplant filled with a creamy cheesy filling. And if this intimidates you, try the low-carb eggplant lasagna instead. Gluten-Free.

Air Fryer Eggplant Pizzas

A great afternoon snack or light lunch. Use your favorite pizza toppings and enjoy! Gluten-Free. Dairy-Free Option.

Miso Eggplant

This recipe is a nice break from all the classic Italian dishes. An umami flavor and stunning presentation. Gluten-Free Option. Dairy-Free.

Caponata

Similar to ratatouille this vegetable-based dish is lovely served with a salad and crusty bread or over pasta. Caponata has a sweet and salty flavor that makes it unique. Gluten-Free. Dairy-Free.

Did you find a recipe that made you love my new aubergine amigo? Let me know!

Remember, life is all about veggie-tation! Stay rooted in laughter and have an egg-cellent day!
