Ingredients

  • 1 eggplant, cut into ½-inch thick slices

  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon salt, toppings (vegetables, basil, oregano or Italian seasonings)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle salt on top of eggplant slices and rest on a paper towel for 10-15 minutes. Pat dry and repeat on the other side.
  2. Lightly brush both sides of the eggplant with oil, then place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until slightly brown. Turn halfway through.
  3. Remove from oven and top each slice with sauce, shredded cheese and other toppings, if desired.
  4. Return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Ingredient Swap: Use low sodium tomato sauce instead of pasta sauce.
