Grain free Eggplant Parmesan

Ingredients

  • 2 Eggplant - cut into ½ inch slices

  • 2 Cups Marinara sauce

  • 1 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese

  • 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

  • italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Lay slices of eggplant on a sheet tray lined with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes to pull out moisture and bitterness. Pat dry with paper towel.

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Sear the eggplant slices in the hot skillet for a few minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Spray the inside of a deep casserole dish with cooking spray.

  • Add ½ cup marinara to the bottom of your dish, spreading evenly around the bottom. Add your eggplant to the bottom in a single layer, then add ½ cup marinara sauce, ½ cup parmesan, and a sprinkle of Italian Seasoning over the top. Repeat this process 1 more time. For the final layer: eggplant, ½ cup marinara, all of the mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.

  • Place into preheated oven and cook for 30 minutes. Serve.
