Delicious Low Carb Egg Plant Parmesan
Equipment
- rimmed baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 eggplant large
- avocado oil spray
- 2 cups almond meal
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp italian seasoning
- 3 eggs large
- 1 cup marinara sauce low sugar
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 °F.
- Wash, dry, then slice a large eggplant into approximately 1/2 inch rounds, discarding the ends.
- Cover a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Then spray the top with avocado oil.
- Mix 1.5 to 2 cups of almond meal, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tbsp of Italian seasonings, then move roughly half of this dry mix into a wide, shallow bowl, being sure to flatten it out so it covers most of the bowl’s surface.
- Then crack 3 eggs into a second shallow, wide bowl, add in a tbsp of water and whisk together.
- Thoroughly dip an eggplant slice into the eggs, then into the dry mix until it is completely coated. Then put it on the lined baking sheet. Repeat for all the other eggplant slices.
- Put the eggplants in the oven for 20 minutes at 425 °F. Then take them out, flip each one over, and put back in the oven for another 20 minutes or until tender.
- When the eggplants are done, you'll need 1/2 cup to 1 cup of low sugar marinara sauce. Spread this marinara sauce evenly onto the tops of each eggplant slice.
- Next have about 1 cup of shredded mozzarella on hand. Add some mozzarella to the top of each eggplant slice. Now have about a half a cup of shredded parmesan. And sprinkle that onto each eggplant slice.
- Now put your eggplants back into the oven for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Then remove from the oven, plate them up, add cracked black pepper and sea salt to taste, then garnish with parsley. And enjoy!
