Crispy Baked Eggplant Parmesan
Enjoy a lighter twist on a classic Italian dish with crispy baked eggplant slices layered with a savory marinara sauce, lightly breaded with panko and enriched with aged Parmesan. This dish provides a satisfying crunch and the comforting flavors of tomato and cheese, perfect for a wholesome dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
2 Large Eggs
1/3 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
4 sprays Olive Oil Spray
Fresh Basil sprigs (optional garnish)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. In another, combine the panko bread crumbs with the Parmesan cheese.
Dip each eggplant slice first into the egg wash and then coat evenly with the panko-Parmesan mixture.
Arrange the slices on the baking sheet and lightly spray both sides with olive oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan and, if desired, spoon a little over each baked slice.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.
