Did you make those Saucy Moroccan-Spiced Lentils yet? I hope so, because I have the perfect application for them. Let’s do this!

What are Moroccan Spices?

Some of the spices common in Moroccan cuisine are cinnamon, cumin, ginger, paprika, saffron, and turmeric. A blend called Ras El Hanout is also commonly used in Moroccan cooking. It includes spices such as anise, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, turmeric, and peppers. (source)

When the weather gets colder outside, I start craving all the warm, comforting, cozy meals. Think chili, shepherd’s pie, and hearty dishes like eggplant parmesan (which is on weekly rotation in our household)!

This is new my go-to crispy, gluten-free version that’s so easy to make, customizable, and incredibly delicious. Let me show you how!

Origins of Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant parmesan (or parmigiana di malanzane) is an Italian casserole dish made with fried eggplant slices, tomato sauce, and cheese.

We’ve shared many veggie burgers over the years, but this one takes the burger, or the cake, or the burger cake! (Burger cake recipe idea, noted).

We examined all of our past recipes, tried to dissect the flavor of beef, and got very scientific about this burger. We considered the texture, the flavor, the aroma, and the complexity of every ingredient added. If it wasn’t adding something special or amazing, we tossed it.
