I love eggplant parmesan and decided to substitute zucchini, not deep fry it, and cut down on bread crumbs to make it healthier. This dish is delicious and zucchini is also nutritious. A medium zucchini only has around 30 calories and contains protein, fiber, Vitamin B6, Folate, Potassium, Riboflavin, Manganese, Copper, and Iron. Plus it boasts almost 40% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C.
It comes together easily and in a relatively short amount of time. Perfect for hectic back-to-school weeknights. I recommend serving it with a side salad or, for a heartier meal, alongside a simple pasta or couscous.
ENJOY!
