This is a great way to enjoy eggplant Parmesan and save some extra calories. We baked the eggplant instead of frying it but you wouldn’t know the difference! It’s delicioso! Baked eggplant Parmesan has turned into a weekly dish for us. It’s so good but still allows us to stay under our calorie goals in MyFitnessPal. That makes us happy….we can splurge on dessert!
