Ingredients for Baked Eggplant Ww

  • Eggplants
  • Marinara Sauce
  • 1/4 cup (approximately 5g) fresh basil leaves
  • Fat Free Mozzarella Cheese

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.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
