Total: 60 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 large eggplants
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1/4 cup diced onions
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell. Chop the eggplant flesh into small pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and chopped eggplant to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes. Stir in the diced tomatoes, cooked quinoa, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Spoon the filling mixture into the hollowed-out eggplant shells and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggplant shells are tender and the cheese is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
