This eggplant Parm recipe cuts out the unnecessary breading and frying of the eggplant. This not only makes it simpler, but healthier as well without all the added oils (and makes it gluten free too!). This great meatless dish works well as a side or on a sandwich as well.

Instructions

Step 1

Start by making the sauce if you don't have any already made. I prefer to use my Simple Pasta Sauce. You can also use a can or jar of sauce too

Step 2

Preheat oven your oven to 400F, and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper

Step 3

While the sauce simmers, slice the eggplant lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices. Transfer to the prepared pan; it's ok if they overlap. Season with salt. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the eggplant is browned and soft but not burnt

Step 5

In a 9x13" casserole dish, place a light layer of sauce on the bottom. Add the eggplant on top, and top with your cheese mix. Repeat again - sauce, eggplant, and cheese. Put one final layer of sauce on top, and top with grated cheese

Step 6

Cover with foil, and bake at 400F until cheese is melted and everything is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake an additional 10 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into 6 pieces
