INGREDIENTS
1 cup cubed Eggplant (approx. 99g)
0.5 cup Marinara Sauce (124g)
1 cup Low-Fat Shredded Mozzarella (112g)
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan (10g)
0.25 cup Chickpea Flour (30g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
4 Fresh Basil Leaves (optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds and lightly pat dry.
Prepare the coating by placing chickpea flour in a shallow dish. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dip each eggplant slice into the chickpea flour, ensuring an even coating. Place the coated slices on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the eggplant slices with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the edges turn golden brown.
Remove the baked eggplant slices from the oven. Spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over each slice, then sprinkle evenly with low-fat mozzarella cheese and a light dusting of Parmesan.
Return the eggplant slices to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve warm.
