How to Make Cottage Cheese Eggplant Boats

  1. Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F/180 degrees C.
  2. Halve the eggplant lengthwise.
  3. Scoop out some flesh from each halve, but leave about 0.4-inch/1 cm on the edges, so the eggplant halves look like boats.
  4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the eggplant boats on it.
  5. Drizzle olive oil. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  6. Roast for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, mix the cottage cheese with chopped parsley, some salt, and olive slices.
  8. Stuff the eggplant boats with the cottage cheese mixture.
  9. Top them with pomegranate seeds and Brussels sprouts.
