Crispy Baked Eggplant Parmesan
Enjoy a healthier twist on a classic Italian favorite! Tender, baked eggplant slices are lightly coated with egg whites and whole wheat breadcrumbs, then layered with robust tomato sauce, melted part-skim mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. This dish delivers a satisfying crunch and rich, comforting flavors while keeping it light and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (15g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (125g)
0.75 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (84g)
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (10g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lightly sprinkle both sides with salt and let them rest for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry with a paper towel.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy. Spread the whole wheat breadcrumbs in another shallow plate.
Dip each eggplant slice first into the egg white, ensuring it’s evenly coated, then dredge in the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
Arrange the breaded eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is crisp and the eggplant is tender.
Lower the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Place the baked eggplant slices in a baking dish. Spoon tomato sauce evenly over each slice, then top with part-skim mozzarella and a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
Bake in the preheated oven for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
