Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.75 cup pizza or marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup pepperoni or your favorite pizza toppings
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash the eggplant and cut it into round slices approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Arrange the eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Bake the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Remove the eggplant from the oven and evenly spread a small spoonful of pizza or marinara sauce onto each slice.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, sliced vegetables, or olives, on top of the cheese.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once removed from the oven, garnish the mini pizzas with fresh basil, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
