You must try this Baked Zucchini and Eggplant recipe. Many of you like my recipes for the fact that the ingredients are mostly available at home. Well here is the secret, I make things only with what is available at my home :). Like I had a Zucchini and then I started thinking what to team it up with. Got contrasting color Egg plant and then to add more nutrition used Sprouts. Next was baking it and that’s when I thought to make it a little cheesy too.
So yes , its a step wise innovation which works well most of the time for me. Next was adding oats sauce. So I initally wanted to keep this under vegan recipe, but then I realised oats did need some cheese, hence a small tiny bit to make that change. What I loved is how Eggplant teamed well with Zucchini and you would hardly feel if the dish had any eggplant. Atleast my son couldn’t make out and finished it. I could have just had the vegetable but I still continued it with dal and chapati. So you can combine this Baked Zucchini and Eggplant with various combinations and enjoy it .
