How to Make No Harm Eggplant Parm Ww
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the ends off of one large eggplant (approximately 2 pounds) and cut it lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick strips.
- Use paper towels to thoroughly blot both sides of the eggplant slices to remove excess moisture.
- Lightly spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and any other desired seasonings (optional).
- In another shallow dish, whisk 2 large egg whites.
- Dip each eggplant slice into the egg whites, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the seasoned bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the breaded eggplant slices flat on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then flip the slices and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, but leave the oven on.
- Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Spread 1/4 cup of your favorite marinara sauce (approximately 1/2 cup total) on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Arrange half of the baked eggplant slices evenly over the sauce.
- Layer the remaining ingredients evenly in this order: 1/4 cup marinara sauce, 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup marinara sauce, remaining eggplant slices, 1/4 cup marinara sauce, remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and return it to the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into quarters and serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
