Best Oil Free Plant Based Baked Eggplant: The Whole Food Plant Recipes

[@henriqueferreira9470]

Awesome channel! No bs, no oil, straight to the content! Thank you for the amazing work!!

[@kimberlyskrobol9167]

Delish! Just made this yesterday and I’m a fan for life! Btw, if you cut them a tiny bit thicker and wiggle them loose from the pan about 5-10 minutes into baking on the first side, you don’t need baking paper and they don’t stick!

[@kathrynsavage4121]

I was looking for a plant based eggplant recipe after receiving an eggplant from the local food bank. Glad this is so simple.

[@PutABirdOnIt101]

So excited you posted this. I just bought a giant eggplant with no idea what to do with it. Gonna go make this right now!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Amanda Gerdt That's great!

[@risafey]

This happened to me today. Bought it, even though I knew I had zero recipes or ideas. Yay for this video!

[@martyschumacher6979]

I just got my eggplant out of the oven! It is super yummy! Love It! And I like both soft and also the chewy ones. I don't cut very even!!

[@LoniLovesLife]

I love your channel.!!! It is helping me with my transition to veganism. Thank you.

[@lindapitchford4941]

I'm trying this right now. I'm lowering salt and oil....I'm excited to taste these!

[@mobass48]

Great to find your Video. I was wondering how to prepare eggplant in the oven without Oil. Now i know! Thanks Much.

[@bettymaugeri7316]

Trying this recipe with eggplant from my brother’s garden!

[@macylia6407]

We grew some eggplants in our garden and we just realized we have no idea how to make it 😅 so thank you

[@Elena-er7zp]

this is so simple and delish!!

[@theversatilevegetarian1469]

It certainly is an underrated vegetable & i didn't grow up with eggplants either

[@janetcastel4383]

This was great tasting! I get a delivery service of veggies and many things I normally would not buy and eggplant is one of them. I imagined a sandwich yesterday and this made it very yummy especially with hummus spread on both pieces of bread!

[@varshadeepak8232]

I tried this recipe, turned out too yummy. My kid loved it ❤️

[@lisapetersen1776]

Just made this and its sooo delicious. Even my non-nutritarian daughter loved it!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yay! I'm so happy you like it!

[@teresacesario6247]

I made these his morning...omg!!! So good

[@TonyWatchesClosely]

I've never given much thought to eggplant myself. I always thought it had to be stuffed with my dad's secret ingredients. He could cook anything and make it melt in your mouth but he was a really old man when I was born and he died when I was 11. He was 57 when I came into the world. He was born in 07. He knew how to cook too good actually and didn't even broach healthy eating. Now I can enjoy eggplant! Thanks for the upload!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Tony C I'm so glad for you!

[@JoanKSX]

Oh, my favourite! It wasn't until... my high school. My house always stir-fry and stew with partially fermented soy bean sauce (we called it 'tau-cu' or beancurd paste, you can call it, it's very salty) and really love it! I love the creamy soft stew texture rather than the crispy one. Oh, I did eat before Malay eggplant-chilli cooking, it's very hot and spicy but it's damn delicious too!

[@theversatilevegetarian1469]

Oh wow! I made a jerk eggplant not too long ago and it was amaze! Lovely vid💚

[@yevettie]

I loved this recipe and i make it so often now. I use miso and mix with mirin. Just as good

[@purityandplants]

I was given a case of eggplants! I have like 20 so I will definitely give this a try 😅

[@TerezaCNisa]

Love your show. Being new to all this and just starting with the WFPB diet I really need to try some fun recipes. Just a tiny little tip: Why don't you show the food in detail at the end of the show? I'm always like: 'That must be so delicious, I wonder how it actually looks like up close!' Thanks anyway, you're awesome! :)

[@cathyl.4288]

Am glad to find this, and plan to try it later this summer...…. I have been wondering if you've considered a version of eggplant parmesan, a dish I do enjoy! :o) I'm hoping my garden will come thru and I'll have some eggplant to experiment with. Anyway, would love finding other ways to use eggplant. Thanks!

[@dinamariea61]

I was looking for an easy eggplant recipe with minimal ingredients and so glad I found this video, thank you! Quick question, would this recipe work for sliced zucchini too and if so would you adjust the temperature and time on each side?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yes, absolutely. You are right though, the zucchini probably won't take as long to bake.

[@empiretutoring4579]

I LOVE your recipes! please make some more main meals I'm new to this and I need some more inspiration :)

[@easybullet3]

that eggplant is HUGE !!! in england they are a third of the size of that. Is it natural size or a growth hormone ? I wish we had them this big in England.

[@RH-pz1du]

Wow, so simple! Thanks!

[@stemon83]

Wanna eat eggplants in a million different ways? Come to Sicily, dear 😉☀️

[@autumn5852]

I must visit, I love eggplant or aubergine is what we call it in England

[@a.r.8987]

Hi there? I was wondering if you have a Q&A video, addressing how , why, your family chose the vegan alternative, how long ago, how it's improved your health or life versus non vegans? Again I'm trying the vegan foodie, lifestyle! Thanks

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

A. R. I don't as of yet but that would make a great show! I will add it to my list. A simplified answer to that question is that our whole family has been vegan now for three years. No regrets, in fact we are reassured almost every day that this was the best choice life change we have ever made. Super Health and only getting better! Feels like we stopped the aging clock right in its tracks👍

[@autumn8034]

Do you have a regular gas stove or a convection oven?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

I have an electric oven.

[@joannepereira5080]

Thank You 😊👐💖

Great Job, but what was the temperature you set the oven?????? or was it magic?….

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

375 F

I have eaten eggplant since I was a teenager. This recipe, Jill, was just delicious. I bought a medium sized eggplant and it was like a vacuum skimmed over the baking sheet. Need I say more? It was gone, in pretty short order. About, how many sprays of Liquid Aminoes do you use per piece of eggplant?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Ilene Unterman-Zimmer Just a couple per eggplant. I'm glad you like it 🤗

[@ileneunterman-zimmer2199]

Thanks again!

[@pizzachick6884]

What is the name of the 2 ingredients it wasn't very clear

It is Braggs liquid aminos 👍

[@HumbleGoddess555]

Thank you!

[@michaelraphael9702]

nice. ill do this but cover with tomato sauce.

[@autumn5852]

Does it not taste bitter if you don’t draw out that bitter taste by salting it and allowing it to draw out?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

It doesn’t to me 👍

[@autumn5852]

@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow I’m going to try this this way anyway, it looks delicious 👍🏽

[@someguy2135]

I bet they would be good with pasta sauce.

[@kirali5823]

I would eat that one eggplant all by myself..and it wouldn't be enough for ...half of a meal :)

[@ninag2467]

Please tell me what did you just spray on eggplant. English is not my first language and that why I can’t hear that you said 💕

Braggs liquid aminos. You can use soy sauce, tamari or salt instead

will this bake right with just the nutritional yeast? The liquid aminos has 320mg sodium at a very small 1/2 tsp, that's more than most soy sauces

Yes

[@VintagePrincess27]

Hi - you don't salt the eggplant and let the bitter come out... I always thought I had to do that. Takes more time to salt rest rinse. Thanks :))

[@sandracarli1110]

I never salt them and they come out nicely. ;)

[@kickasses2121]

Sandra Carli I salt them only when I am doing the Norma pasta in the oven I do not salt them

[@saptarshilahiri9573]

Can I use Tamari Sauce (similar to soy) instead of Liquid Amino?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Yes

[@rlshieldsok]

I was always told you had to salt them to draw out some chemical that tastes like cigarette butts before you cook them. Do you know what I'm talking about?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

rlshieldsok Salting is to draw out the moisture and break down the cellular walls so it is easier to cook and doesn't turn "mushy". The toxin that some people get concerned about has to do with vegetables in the nightshade family ( potato, tomatoes, eggplant etc.) The toxin is mainly in the leaves and stem so there is really both to worry about.

[@gerrymander69420]

rlshieldsok v

[@emiayau9071]

The salt to remove bitterness is an old tradition, much like rubbing the ends of zucchini. I read that modern eggplants have been bred to be less bitter so the salting is not required for anything other than drawing out moisture.

[@bellasbastyan9400]

You should put salt after 15 minutes wash it this removes the bitter taste

[@shekeeps1iclosed]

Absolutely agree 🍆 is VERY under rated! what a delicious recipe. Totally gonna try! Thank

[@healthiswealth3john279]

NEVER SEEN EGGPLANT COOKED LIKE THIS BEFORE. I WOULD PROBABLY EAT THE WHOLE THING MYSELF AND NOT FEEL GUILTY, SINCE IT'S NOT GREASY!!!!LOL 😁😇🍆🍆🍆

[@williamweeks9608]

I didn't find this particularly tasteful and definitely not the "best" baked eggplant I ever had, but I ate it anyway. Needed a bit more seasoning, like onion or garlic or both! Thanks for your recipes though, I've found a number of them to be very good. This one, I give a "meh" to.

[@rayradiance666]

William Weeks - you, eggplant needs A LOT of seasoning to taste good. It tastes good with combo of cumin, coriander, cayenne, turmeric and garlic

[@teacherlynn671]

Never mind my wife watched with me and heard it 375 degrees in the oven. Stupid man I am...

[@FawsmyZh-dw3yq]

Not much oil. Not good in spring to shrink the winter day.

What made ypu decide to be a vegan? I had to bc of medical reasons
