We’re in prime summer garden season in Utah, and zucchini recipes have been getting the spotlight. But another veggie that’s abundant during summer garden season is eggplant, and I’ve been a huge eggplant fan ever since I started growing it in my garden.

Such a wonderful collection of low-carb, gluten-free eggplant recipes—healthy, flavorful, and perfect for guilt-free meals, thanks for sharing
So glad it is useful for you!
I am an English eggplant fan but find most recipes too sloppy. I am in awe of these eggplant recipes and can’t wait to try them. I have dreamed of shredding the eggplants to add to recipes but can’t quite work out how to use this method.
I really hope you enjoy the recipes. I’m a fan of grilled eggplant or roasted eggplant, which evaporates some of the moisture.
Great post!! Want to see more in future. Keep sharing with us,
Thanks!!
These recipes look so good! I can’t wait to try these someday. Thanks a lot for posting!
It’s actually very good with lots of raw veggies: carrots, celery, cauliflower, bell peppers, sugar snap peas, etc. And while baba ghanouj is very similar to hummus, the chickpeas that make up the body of hummus are higher in carbs than the eggplant used for baba ghanouj. So a platter of veggies with a bowl of baba ghanouj makes a pretty good low-carb appetizer, I think.
Sounds like I need to try it.
What about Baba Ghanouj? That’s the eggplant recipe that won over my family.
Yes, that’s a popular recipe using eggplant for sure. This is focused on low-carb recipes and that’s usually eaten with Pita Bread, so that’s probably why I didn’t come across a low-carb version of it. But I bet it would be good dipped with cauliflower!
Welllll, I am guilty of not really "trying" eggplant. In the last year and 1/2 I have had to drastically change my (and my families) diet. I am gluten and dairy free, plus I have to avoid acidic foods. I tell people, be careful of what you pray for. 🙂 I think I may have to try a couple of these recipes as a co-worker brought me in some beautiful eggplants from her garden. I will let you know how it goes Kalyn! Thanks for sharing!
Lucky you to get garden eggplant! I hope you can find some recipes you will enjoy!
So many ideas of delicious eggplant recipes. Thank you for sharing, Kalyn!

Janice, it's definitely eggplant season; hope you enjoy!
wow, its very yummy and delicious. so i like to make it today and eat eggplant rollup. thanks for sharing…
Glad you like it!
Hello, hope my question gets to you. I made eggplant w/a tomato sauce,I salted the sliced pieces of ep before,and let sit for awhile,b4 frying in a skillet. The problem was the skin on the edges was so tough,that it became uneatable,although the whole dish was great. Q.Why/how to make the outer skin more soft? Big hugs,and thank you.
I think some eggplants have much tougher skin than others. If you're using small thin eggplants they rarely need to be peeled. For larger ones, I would peel the skin if you don't like that texture. You can kind of tell by poking your fingernail through the skin when it's going to be tough, if that makes sense. I think for fried eggplant where it's cooked quickly at high heat, the skin will usually not soften much. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much 'busy lady' for the reply..It does make sense.
I’m gonna make this tomorrow it looks major! Thank youuuu!
Not sure which one caught your eye, but hope you enjoy!
