How to Make Baked Eggplant Ww

  1. Preheat your broiler to high. Slice one large eggplant (approximately 2 pounds) into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  2. Arrange eggplant slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Lightly spray both sides with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Broil for 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and slightly softened.
  4. Remove from broiler and reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  5. In an 11x14 inch baking dish, spread 1 cup of your favorite marinara sauce (approximately 250g).
  6. Arrange the broiled eggplant rounds overlapping slightly in the baking dish, over the sauce.
  7. Top with the remaining 1 cup (approximately 250g) of marinara sauce.
  8. Sprinkle generously with 1/2 cup (approximately 30g) shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup (approximately 5g) fresh basil leaves.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
