  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Eggplant Slices:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to release moisture. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
  3. Brush both sides of the slices with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.

2. Bake the Eggplant:
Place the eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy.

3. Add Toppings:
Spread marinara sauce over each eggplant slice. Top with shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, and cherry tomatoes.

4. Bake & Serve:
Return the eggplant pizzas to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
