We baked the breaded eggplant instead of frying it, for a lighter but still delicious take. Store-bought tomato sauces tend to be high in sodium, so we use no-salt-added tomato sauce pumped up with extra seasonings for plenty of flavor. I’ll serve it with aBasic Green Salad with Vinaigrettefor a simple and refreshing side that boosts the fiber, too.EatingWell’s Eggplant ParmesanI wish you all a great week and I hope you enjoy this dinner plan.
