Grilled Eggplant Romano image

At the moment, my kitchens smells like an Italian restaurant. We bought some soft ball sized Rosa Bianca eggplants at our local farmer's market on the weekend and my DH requested I do Eggplant Parmesan. The eggplants are grilled without any oil in this recipe. This should make 3 layers. Rosa Bianca are our favorites. They are round eggplants that are purple and white and very mild.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 large eggplants (I used Rosa Bianca)
2 (25 ounce) jars roasted garlic pasta sauce
1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use more if you like)
3 tablespoons garlic powder (one tbsp. for each layer)
3 cups grated cheese (I used Romano but Parmesan will do)
olive oil

Steps:

  • Turn your barbecue on to high.
  • Cut the eggplants into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Grill them until they are lightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  • If you can't grill them all at once, remove the first batch and do the second.
  • Once they are cook do the following:.
  • In a 9x2x13 inch ceramic dish coat the bottom with a good layer of the pasta sauce.
  • Lay the eggplant in a single layer over the sauce.
  • Sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese over the eggplants. Then sprinkle 1 tablespoons of the garlic powder over top of that. Repeat ending with the cheese and garlic powder.
  • Sprinkle the bread crumbs on top and drizzle with a little olive oil if you like.
  • Cook in a 375'F oven for about 45 minutes or until the bread crumbs are a golden brown and the eggplant is bubbling around the edges.
  • Bon Appetit!

This recipe is both healthy and delicious. The eggplant is a good source of fiber and antioxidants, and the Romano cheese is a good source of calcium.

This recipe is perfect for summer grilling. The eggplant gets a nice smoky flavor from the grill.

My kids loved this recipe! They ate the eggplant right up. It's a great way to get them to eat their vegetables.

This recipe is very affordable to make. Eggplant is a relatively inexpensive vegetable, and the other ingredients are also very affordable. I was able to make a delicious meal for my family without breaking the bank.

I added a little bit of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for some extra spice. It was delicious! The eggplant had a nice kick to it.

I was short on time so I pan-fried the eggplant instead of grilling it. It still turned out great! The eggplant was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I would definitely make this recipe again.

This is a great recipe for anyone looking for a healthy and delicious side dish. The eggplant is a good source of fiber and antioxidants, and the Romano cheese is a good source of calcium. I like to serve it with a side of grilled chicken or fish.

This recipe was FANTASTIC. The eggplant was so soft and flavorful, and the Romano cheese added the perfect amount of saltiness. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was the perfect meal. My family loved it!
