try marinating the eggplant in olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and parsley before grilling

Eggplant lasagna is wonderful, too, if you're one of those who fear pasta for their carbs.

Also, try steaming an eggplant, mashing the ends (keep the stalk intact), dipping it in egg (you can put bellpeppers or tomatoes or even some meat if you like!) and frying it. Simple yumminess right there!

Eggplants are ideal for side dishes. Simply steamed eggplants, those coated with egg and then fried.In addition, eggplants are good source of folate and potassium.FYI, the lighter the colour of the eggplant, the milder the flavour.
