Crispy Baked Eggplant Parmesan Hero
Savor a reimagined Eggplant Parmesan crafted with tender, oven-roasted eggplant slices layered in a light, protein-packed batter. Finished with a delicious medley of marinara, melted part-skim mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan, this crispy bake delivers satisfying textures and classic Italian flavors in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (280g)
2 large Eggs
0.33 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (30g)
0.5 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
2 ounces Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, beat 2 eggs. In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Dip each eggplant slice first in the beaten eggs, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet. Spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over each slice, then top with part-skim mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheeses melt and turn bubbly.
Serve warm as a satisfying main dish with a side salad or as a hearty snack.
