INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (~240g)
1 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese, shredded (~113g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (~125g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (~15g)
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (~10g)
Olive Oil Spray
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly salt the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
Place the whole wheat breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Spray both sides of the eggplant slices lightly with olive oil spray. Dredge each slice in the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
Arrange the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Remove the eggplant from the oven and spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce on each slice. Top with shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese and a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve warm, and enjoy this healthy take on Eggplant Parmesan!
