It has almost become like a tradition to make eggplant Parmesan whenever am left with half bottle of marinara sauce. Eggplant scores high in the accounts of fiber, vitamins and minerals. This baked and low sodium version is a great quick fix satisfying meal.
When I first started to make this recipe I always felt bad about using store bought marinara sauce due to its high sodium. But then I found this 1% sodium Trader Joe's Marinara sauce. Love Trader Joe's! After all, I wanna salt my food the way I like. Why let a bottle decide how much salt my food needs.
Recipe
1 large eggplant
1/2 cup panko
2 eggwhites
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup Mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp dry basil
salt & pepper as needed
Marinara Sauce as needed
- Preheat oven at 375 deg
- Cut 1 inch thick round slices of eggplant. Soak them in egg whites and then bread crumbs. Lay on a rack to bake for 15 min, flipping after 7 min.
- As my sauce has no salt added, I add salt, pepper and dry basil as needed. Use the sauce to cover the bottom of a pan/tray.
- Place the roasted eggplant slices. Top up with mixture of cheese as needed.
- Bake at 375 for 25-30 min.
