Eggplant does not need salt to remove moisture. You are adding sodium to your diet that is not needed. It will lose its moisture and liquid anyway when sliced. Paper towel will absorb moisture regardless.
2. Does not need deep frying in oil. Grill it on a BBQ or similar. Less fat and less grease. Use paper towel
3. Its good for you
4. Cheese is not vegetarian. Try tahini instead and sparingly to avoid grease factor

But baking the eggplant is so much better for you and (in my opinion)way yummier. I also love to serve it over a salad of red onions, dark greens, black olives, tomatoes (when in season) and artichoke hearts with some nuts. Literally, instead of frying the eggplant just prepare it normally and then put it in the oven on parchment paper at 250 degrees F until it’s nice and golden brown. Delish and HALF the calories!
