If you like eggplant parmesan, you will love the simplicity and deliciousness of this recipe from The Food network cooking show, The Kitchen – Eggplant Parmesan Boats . These make for a great side dish or the main meal for a meatless option. So simple, add the olive oil, spices, roast the eggplant, dollop on the marinara sauce (we love Rao’s), add the shredded mozzarella and the parmesan, stick back in the oven until the cheese is nice and bubbly! Enjoy!

NOTE: Be sure to prep your eggplant to get all the water out. Cut the eggplant in halve, score the eggplant flesh, do not cut into the skin. Salt the surface and let it rest for 30 minutes. You will be amazed at how much moisture come out. Wipe dry and you are ready to add your spices and roast.
