Eggplant Loaf Recipe

Eggplant loaf recipe is a great meatless alternative, making it suitable for vegans, vegetarians or those looking to reduce meat. Eggplant is low in calories, high in fiber, and contains antioxidants that support overall health.

I love eggplants as they are very versatile, it can be flavored in many ways and pairs well with a variety of sides, making it a flexible dish for different tastes. In this dish I used sweet paprika but would be equally great with chipotle.
