Ratatouille Polenta Bake

Zero in on Zucchini

Foods like zucchini contain a high percentage of water. More water means fewer calories for the same weight of food. Good news for your waistline.

Did You Know?

Eggplant is an exceptional choice for a low-fat eating plan. There are only 20 calories in each 1/2 cup. Keep in mind that a pound of uncooked eggplant will yield about half a pound when cooked. Use part-skim mozzarella cheese to lower the fat in this dish.

Pretty Dang Good

I added just a little more cheese and salt than what the recipe called for (which may or may not have enhanced it), but in any case, it was a very satisfying meal. You could probably substitute any variety of vegetables and it would still be good. Polenta is so versatile!
