INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
1 Whole Wheat Roll (70g)
3 ounces Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (85g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs (30g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
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. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Prepare an egg wash by lightly beating the egg white in a small bowl.
Dip each eggplant slice into the egg white, then coat it evenly with whole wheat panko breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are crispy and golden.
In the last 5 minutes of baking, spoon a bit of marinara sauce over each slice and top with part-skim mozzarella. Allow the cheese to melt slightly.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the whole wheat roll.
Assemble the sandwich by layering the cheesy eggplant slices on the bottom half of the roll, drizzling any remaining warm marinara sauce on top, and covering with the roll’s top half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, nutrient-balanced crispy baked eggplant parmesan sandwich.
