- Number of Servings: 4
- Cups of Fruits and Vegetables Per Person: 2.00
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cups bread crumbs
- 2 eggplants
- 2 diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/3 cup diced celery
- 2 Tbsp fresh minced parsley

- vegetable cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut eggplants in half lengthwise. Scoop out and save the flesh, leaving the shells 3/8-inch-thick. If necessary, trim a small piece off the bottom of each shell so it won’t tip over. Set aside. Coat large skillet with vegetable cooking spray. Chop up reserved eggplant and add to skillet. Add tomato, bell pepper, onion, and celery. Place skillet over medium heat; cover and cook about 5 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in bread crumbs and parsley. Spoon mixture into the hollow eggplant shells. Arrange stuffed shells in a shallow baking dish coated with vegetable spray. Sprinkle 1½ tsp Parmesan on top of each shell. Bake for 25 minutes, until filling heats through and top is golden brown.
