Eggplant Pizza
Report
Eggplant pizza is a low-carb alternative to the traditional version, featuring sliced and roasted eggplant, loaded up with your favorite pizza toppings. It's easier than stirring together a pizza dough!

Ingredients
- 1 pound eggplant
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- salt
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese and any other toppings you like, shredded
- basil for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the eggplant crosswise, making round slices that are roughly a 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick. (The thinner you slice them, the more flimsy they will be, but the faster they will cook.)
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, and lightly brush the tops with olive oil. Sprinkle each slice with salt, then bake until the slices are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the eggplant from the oven and add the marinara sauce and cheese to each slice. (I use roughly 2 teaspoons of sauce and 2 tablespoons of cheese per piece; this will vary by size, though.)
- Return to the oven to bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 to 8 more minutes. Serve warm right away, with fresh basil on top, if desired. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, preheat the ove to 400ºF and bake untill everything is hot, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1/4 of the entire recipe, about 3 slices of eggplant pizza. This will vary based on how many slices you get out of your eggplant, and the toppings you choose. This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
