Ingredients
- cooking spray I use avocado oil
- 1 large eggplant 1 pound
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups almond meal see notes
- ½ cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- ¼ cup parmesan grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.
- Slice the unpeeled eggplant into ½-inch rounds, discarding the ends. Season the eggplant slices with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water.
- Place the almond meal in another shallow bowl.
- Dip each eggplant round in the egg, then dredge it in the almond meal. Arrange the coated eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them with cooking spray.
- Bake the eggplant until tender, for about 20 minutes per side.
- Remove the eggplants from the oven, but keep the oven on. Top each eggplant with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake the eggplant until the cheese is melted, for about 5 more minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- I don't peel the eggplant. Some people worry that the eggplant skin will give this dish a bitter taste, but I don't detect any bitter aftertaste, and the dish looks so much prettier with the dark-colored eggplant skin. However, if you worry about it, there's no harm in peeling the eggplant.
- You can use crushed pork rinds instead of almond meal.
- You can keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days. They actually taste good cold! But you can also reheat them uncovered in a 350°F oven.
