Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplant
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 4 large Sub rolls
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Lay the slices on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Roast the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and tender.
While the eggplant is roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Slice the sub rolls lengthwise and place them on a separate baking sheet. Arrange the roasted eggplant slices inside each roll.
Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over the eggplant in each sub. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.
Return the subs to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the subs from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Super Eggplant Subs!
