LIGHTER EGGPLANT PARMESAN Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by Marinel

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large egg plant (2 pounds), sliced in 1/2 inch thick rounds
1 tablespoon olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup fat-free (skim) milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup homemade or best-quality store-bought marinara sauce
1/2 cup grated part-skim mozzarella
1/3 cup grated parmesan

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Arrange eggplant on two rimmed baking sheets. Brush eggplant on both sides with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and very tender, 20 to 25 minutes; turning slices and rotating sheets halfway through. 2. Meanwhile, make sauce; Off heat, in a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup milk, flour, and garlic. Gradually whisk in remaining 3/4 cup milk and 1/2 cup marinara sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until pink sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. 3. Spread 1/4 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Alternate layers of baked eggplant with pink sauce. Dollop with remaining 1/4 cup marinara sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake on upper rack until browned and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.

This is the best eggplant parmesan I've ever had! The eggplant is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe.

This eggplant parmesan recipe is a game-changer! It's so much lighter and healthier than the traditional version, but it still has all the flavor and comfort. I especially love that it uses almond flour instead of bread crumbs.
