Grilled Eggplant with Feta

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium eggplants
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or a cooking spray for fewer points)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional garnish: Cherry tomatoes or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggplants:

  1. Wash the eggplants and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds or strips.
  2. Lay slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 15–20 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

2. Season the Eggplants:

  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil (or lightly spray eggplant slices with cooking spray), garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Brush or spray both sides of the eggplant slices with the mixture.

3. Grill the Eggplants:

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Place the eggplant slices on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until tender and slightly charred.

4. Assemble the Dish:

  1. Transfer the grilled eggplant to a serving platter.
  2. Sprinkle with reduced-fat feta cheese and chopped parsley (and mint, if using).
  3. Drizzle with lemon juice for a fresh, tangy finish.
  4. Optional: Add halved cherry tomatoes or chili flakes for a burst of flavor.

5. Serve:
Enjoy warm or at room temperature as a low-point side dish, appetizer, or light main course.


WW Points Tips:

  • Use olive oil sparingly or swap for a cooking spray to reduce points.
  • Opt for reduced-fat or fat-free feta to save even more points.
  • Pair with other grilled veggies or a light salad for a filling, low-point meal.
