PROS

This eggplant dish is deliciously simple and easy to make.
The low fat content makes it a healthy choice, and the addition of mushrooms and oregano adds a depth of flavor.
It’s also easily customizable – you can easily turn it into a Parmesan dish by adding Parmesan cheese.

CONS

Eggplant is not a favorite for everyone, so it might not be a crowd-pleaser.
Also, many people enjoy fried eggplant – this recipe does not require frying and may not have the same taste as a fried version.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Eggplant contains a high amount of antioxidants, especially nasunin which has been shown to protect brain cells from damage. It’s also low in calories and carbs but high in fiber. The addition of mushrooms and oregano adds even more health benefits – mushrooms are high in potassium and oregano is a good source of vitamin K and antioxidants.
