INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (~300g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (~125g)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (~56g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (~30g)
1 large Egg White (~33g)
1/4 cup Chickpea Flour (~30g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the 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 a little salt on both sides and let sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg white.
In a separate bowl, combine chickpea flour and whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip each eggplant slice first into the egg white, then coat evenly with the chickpea flour and breadcrumb mixture.
Arrange the coated eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce over each slice and sprinkle with part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Serve warm as a satisfying and healthy meal.
