Enjoy a lighter twist on a classic comfort dish with tender baked eggplant rounds layered with a zesty marinara sauce and a blend of light mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. This dish delivers flavorful Italian herbs while keeping it clean and satisfying for your balanced lifestyle.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (124g)
3 ounces Light Mozzarella Cheese (85g)
0.5 ounce Grated Parmesan Cheese (14g)
2 Egg Whites (66g)
2 tablespoons Almond Flour (14g)
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (1g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Optionally, sprinkle lightly with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry to reduce moisture.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg whites and almond flour along with the Italian seasoning to form a light coating mixture.
Dip each eggplant slice into the mixture, ensuring both sides are coated lightly.
Arrange the coated eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices soften and begin to turn golden.
Remove the eggplant from the oven, and spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over each slice.
Sprinkle the light mozzarella evenly on top of the sauce, then add a light dusting of grated Parmesan cheese.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheeses have melted and are slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a couple of minutes, and serve warm as a healthy main or a hearty snack.
