INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (240g)
1.25 cups Cannellini Beans (approx. 280g)
1 large Egg
2 tablespoons Almond Flour
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic (minced)
5 Fresh Basil leaves
1 teaspoon Paprika
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
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. Lightly brush each side with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, combine the almond flour.
Dip each eggplant slice first into the egg, then coat it evenly with almond flour.
Place the coated eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat a tiny drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add the tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in chopped basil leaves and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
For the creamy white beans, gently warm the cannellini beans in a small pot over low heat, stirring occasionally.
To serve, plate a portion of baked eggplant alongside a serving of warm white beans, and spoon the zesty tomato sauce over the top. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
