INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
3 ounces Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (85g)
1/4 cup Almond Flour (28g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
Olive Oil Spray
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly season both sides with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour and egg white to create a thin, binding batter.
Dip each eggplant slice into the almond flour mixture, ensuring an even, light coating. Place the coated slices on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the eggplant rounds become crispy and golden.
Remove the eggplant from the oven. Spoon a modest layer of fresh marinara sauce over each slice and top with part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Return the eggplant slices to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
Serve warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired, enjoying the crispy texture paired with the rich, melted mozzarella and zesty marinara.
