INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Eggplant (sliced)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tbsp Fresh Basil (optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant into approximately 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the eggplant slices with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until they are tender and slightly golden.
While the eggplant roasts, heat a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic in a small splash of olive oil until fragrant, then add the lean ground beef.
Cook the beef until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in the tomato sauce and season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes.
Once the eggplant slices are roasted, layer them on a serving dish. Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the eggplant.
Top the dish with dollops of plain nonfat Greek yogurt. Garnish with fresh basil if using.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, balanced meal.
