Ingredients | Vegan Eggplant Parmigiana Recipe

3 eggplants

4 cups vegetable broth

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 red bell peppers, cut into cubes

2 onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, sliced

salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 tomatoes, sliced

Directions

Peel eggplants in such a way that 3 strips of skin remain on each eggplant. Cut peeled eggplant into 1/2-inch slices. The strips of skin will prevent the eggplant slices from falling apart while cooking.

Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot and cook eggplant slices in batches for 1 minute. Pour into a sieve and drain well.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread out eggplant slices on the bottom of the baking dish.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook bell peppers, onions, and garlic until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and layer over eggplant. Add tomato slices; season with salt and pepper.

Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
