INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (~300g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (~93g)
2/3 cup Cooked Chickpeas (~130g)
3 large Egg Whites (~99g total)
1 oz Feta Cheese (~28g)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil (~2.3g)
1 serving Diced Mixed Veggies (~80g)
2 tbsp Chopped Fresh Herbs (Basil & Oregano)
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and use a spoon to carefully scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch border to form boats. Reserve the scooped eggplant flesh and chop it finely.
Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and half of the chopped herbs. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until slightly softened.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, sauté the garlic in a tiny splash of olive oil. Add the reserved chopped eggplant flesh, diced mixed veggies, and remaining herbs. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, and egg whites into the veggie mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the egg whites begin to set, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the eggplant boats from the oven and gently fill each with the quinoa mixture. Top each boat with crumbled feta cheese.
Return the stuffed eggplant boats to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to warm through and allow the flavors to meld.
Serve warm and enjoy your herb-roasted quinoa stuffed eggplant boats as a nutrient-packed meal.
