Crispy Baked Eggplant Parmesan Hero
Enjoy a hearty twist on classic eggplant parmesan with a crispy almond flour-coated eggplant slice baked to perfection, layered with rich marinara and melty mozzarella, all nestled inside a soft half whole wheat hero roll for a satisfying meal that perfectly balances indulgence with clean eating.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (150g)
1/4 cup Almond Flour (28g)
3 large Egg Whites (99g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (124g)
1/2 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella (56g)
1/2 Whole Wheat Hero Roll (40g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds and lightly salt them to draw out moisture. Let sit for 10 minutes and then pat dry.
Prepare a breading station by whisking the egg whites in a shallow dish. In a separate plate, add the almond flour.
Dip each eggplant slice into the egg whites, then coat evenly in almond flour. Place the breaded slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Warm the marinara sauce on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Assemble your hero by layering the baked eggplant slices on the bottom half of the toasted half roll, spooning over the marinara sauce, and sprinkling the shredded mozzarella on top.
Place the assembled sandwich back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, top with the remaining half of the roll, and serve warm.
