20 healthy eggplant recipes that are delicious and fun for you to try that are not all eggplant parm!
Eggplant (also known as aubergine in the UK) is one of my most favorite vegetables. Luckily, it also happens to be my husband’s favorite as well.
In the summer months, we love to throw it on the grill with olive oil and oregano. In the winter we use a lot of heartier Lebanese stews. That said, I’m always looking for new and easy ways to prepare eggplant so whether you cook it all the time like we do or have never tried it, I hope these new eggplant recipes inspire you to make it soon.

Great round-up! I love eggplant too (as a matter of fact we’re having it for dinner tonight!) Its hard to find eggplant recipes that are dairy free, so its fun to see some good ones here. Thanks!
Ahh yes I’m glad you found some!!!
