INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
5 large Egg Whites (165g total)
1/3 cup Almond Flour (30g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1/2 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (56g)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Lightly salt them to help remove moisture and let sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy. In another bowl, place the almond flour.
Dip each eggplant slice first into the egg whites, allowing excess to drip off, and then coat evenly with almond flour.
Place the coated eggplant slices onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until the edges are golden and the slices are tender.
Remove the baking sheet and spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce on each slice. Sprinkle shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the marinara.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving. Enjoy your Crispy Baked Eggplant Parmesan Hero as is or assemble them into a hero sandwich using your favorite bread for a heartier meal.
