Rinse Quinoa (4 Tbsp) thoroughly and cook on stove top according to directions. Set aside once cooked.

Cut Eggplant (1) in half lengthwise; remove the pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell. Cube the pulp; set shells and pulp aside.

In a large nonstick skillet coated with Coconut Oil Cooking Spray (as needed), sauté Onion (1/2 cup) and Garlic (2 cloves) until tender.

step 4

Add Zucchini (1/2 cup), Bell Pepper (1/2 cup), and eggplant pulp; sauté for 4-6 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

step 5

Stir in the Tomato (3/4 cup), Ground Flaxseed (4 Tbsp), Dried Parsley (1 tsp), Dried Thyme (1/2 cup), Salt (1/4 tsp), Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp), and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/4 tsp). Cook for 1 minute.

step 6

Remove from heat, stir in cooked quinoa. Divide mixture evenly between the eggplant shells; sprinkle with Galbani Parmesan Cheese (1 Tbsp) and Paprika (to taste).

Place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 20-25 minutes or until shells are tender.
