On the Run: fitness made simple

My first time cooking eggplant!

I don’t really like eggplant but it’s so healthy that I am trying to acquire the taste. It’s skin has the phytonutrient, nasunin, which protects brain cell membranes! Also it’s fleshy and tastes like a starchy vegetable yet only has 20 calories per cup. This was the easiest way I found to prepare eggplant: 

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F 
• Brush sides with olive oil
• Season with salt and pepper 
• Bake for ~20 minutes or until tops are brown
• Season with lemon juice when done 

Baking or roasting vegetables is so simple, quick, and keeps your recipes clean =) Anyone else like eggplant and want to share a recipe?
