INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (120g)
1/4 cup Almond Flour (28g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (56g)
1 Whole Grain Pita (40g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Slice the eggplant into ¼-inch thick rounds. Pat the slices dry using paper towels.
Set up a dipping station: In one bowl, lightly beat the egg; in a separate shallow dish, add the almond flour.
Dip each eggplant slice first in the beaten egg, then coat evenly with almond flour.
Place the coated eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
Bake the eggplant slices for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
Meanwhile, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the eggplant slices are baked, layer a few pieces on the bottom of your whole grain pita. Spoon a layer of warmed marinara sauce over the eggplant and sprinkle with low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Optionally, return the assembled sandwich to the oven for 3-5 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, crispy baked eggplant parmesan sandwich.
