Crispy Baked Eggplant with Fresh Marinara
Enjoy a delicious twist on comfort food with crispy baked eggplant rounds coated in a light almond flour crust, topped with melted mozzarella and served with a vibrant homemade fresh marinara and a cooling side of herbed Greek yogurt dip.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (250g)
1 large Egg
1/3 cup Almond Flour (approx. 35g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/3 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella
1/2 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly sprinkle both sides with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, combine almond flour, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Dip each eggplant slice first into the egg wash and then coat evenly in the almond flour mixture.
Place the coated eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden.
While the eggplant bakes, gently warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once baked, remove the eggplant slices from the oven. Top each slice with a sprinkle of part-skim mozzarella and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Serve the crispy baked eggplant with a generous spoonful of warm marinara on top and a side of herbed Greek yogurt dip. Optionally season the dip with salt, pepper, and additional oregano.
