Garlic Roasted Eggplant! Delicious side dish idea with herbs and parmesan to top it off!

The first time I tried eggplant was also the very first time I tried to cook with it.  I found a weight watchers recipe for eggplant lasagna and decided to try it out.  I obviously botched up the recipe somehow because the eggplant never got soft enough to be considered like noodles and the texture was more like a dry sponge… yuck!  I never tried to cook with it again… until today.  28 weeks baby is the size of an eggplant!There are a lot of pregnancy apps I’ve been using this pregnancy that tell you what size the baby is by comparing it to fruits and veggies week by week.  I thought it would be fun to make recipes that go along with the fruit or vegetable for the week and this week is eggplant!  I knew that it was time to try eggplant again and now I can say that I am SO glad I did.  Roasted eggplant is amazing and has a great taste and texture too.

Garlic Roasted Eggplant for the 28th week of pregnancy when the baby is the size of an eggplant. Fun idea!

Roasting the eggplant brought out a nice caramely flavor and tasted great with the garlic oil I put on top.  The trick for any roasted veggies is to get those nice dark brown edges.

Garlic Roasted Eggplant! Perfectly roasted eggplant infused with garlic and topped with parmesan and herbs. Simple dinnier side dish.

Maybe I will try that eggplant lasagna again and make sure those veggies are thoroughly cooked because now I am a big eggplant fan!  This recipe is for one eggplant, but I suggest making two at a time for a family of 4.  Garlic Roasted Eggplant
