INGREDIENTS
1 small Eggplant (150g)
20g Almond Flour
1 Large Egg
75g Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 cup Low-Sugar Marinara Sauce (125g)
10g Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
3 sprigs Fresh Basil
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Optionally, sprinkle lightly with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture; then pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg. In another, place the almond flour mixed with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip each eggplant slice first into the egg, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Arrange the coated eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until the slices are crisp and golden.
Remove from the oven and top each slice with a spoonful of marinara sauce and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Plate the crispy eggplant slices, add a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt on top, and garnish with fresh basil sprigs before serving.
