Easy Eggplant Recipes to Delight Your Taste Buds
Eggplant, or aubergine as it's elegantly called in some regions, is a culinary chameleon. This versatile veggie—rich in fiber, potassium, and vitamins—shines in various dishes, capturing the essence of Mediterranean, Greek, and Middle Eastern cuisines. At HelloFresh, we love eggplant, from Summer Ratatouille to Indian-Inspired Eggplant with Tandoori-Spiced Basmati Rice and Cilantro Yogurt Sauce. It’s the backbone of many of our vegan and gluten-free options, absorbing flavors like olive oil, tomato sauce, and fresh basil, transforming into a mouth-watering eggplant dish that leaves everyone craving more.

HelloFresh Eggplant Tip

Brush slices with olive oil and season with black pepper and oregano for an Italian flavor boost before cooking, and serve with marinara sauce for a great appetizer.
