INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (125g)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (124g)
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (28g)
1 oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
2 sprays Olive Oil Cooking Spray
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer.
Spray the tops of the eggplant slices with a little more olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the eggplant is tender and beginning to crisp around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet, then spoon a thin layer of tomato sauce over each slice. Dollop part-skim ricotta on top, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella.
Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheeses have melted and are slightly golden.
Garnish with fresh basil just before serving. Enjoy your light and flavorful eggplant Parmesan!
