INGREDIENTS
1 cup sliced eggplant (approx. 100g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (approx. 125g)
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella (approx. 112g)
1/8 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs (approx. 15g)
1 large egg
4 sprigs fresh basil
Salt and pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds. Lightly salt the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg. In another small bowl, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Dip each eggplant slice in the egg, then coat lightly with breadcrumbs. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the breaded eggplant in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until golden and slightly crispy.
Remove the eggplant from the oven. Top each slice with marinara sauce and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.
Return the tray to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and begins to turn golden.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm and enjoy your crispy roasted eggplant parm melts.
