INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (92g)
1/2 cup Black Beans, drained (130g)
1/2 cup Chickpeas, drained (125g)
3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (15g total)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomato (90g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly with a knife. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt if desired.
Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and roast for 25-30 minutes until the flesh is tender.
While the eggplant roasts, prepare the stuffing by combining cooked quinoa, black beans, chickpeas, diced tomato, and fresh spinach in a bowl. Stir in the nutritional yeast for a savory boost.
Once the eggplant is done, scoop out some of the softened flesh from the center of each half, creating a small well for the stuffing, and mix it into your filling if desired.
Fill each eggplant half generously with the quinoa and bean mixture.
Return the stuffed eggplant to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to warm everything through.
Serve hot and enjoy this hearty, nutrient-packed meal.
