A vegetarian option! This is another recipe picked up from Sam the Cooking Guy that could be varied depending on your choice of vegetables. Feel free to add in zucchini, peppers, onions on your grill (or grill pan) to your liking. Usually eggplant parm is breaded and fried making it less than healthy and more than complicated. This is a super-simple, don’t feel like cooking much option.
