Best Low Carb Roasted Eggplant Marinara Recipes

LOW CARB EGGPLANT PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice the eggplant into long pieces. If you have time, sprinkle the eggplant with salt and let it rest for 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes, press a paper towel against the eggplant to remove any excess moisture.
• Cover 2 baking sheets with foil and spray with cooking spray. Place the eggplant in a single layer on the baking sheets. Brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until softened.
• Meanwhile, coat an 8 X 8 glass baking dish with cooking spray. Add about 1/3 of the sauce to the bottom. Add a layer of the baked eggplant. Sprinkle with 1/2 the mozzarella cheese. Add more sauce, another layer of eggplant, more sauce, and then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top. Mix together the almond flour and Parmesan cheese and sprinkle over top.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and let cheese brown and crisp if desired, you can also broil it for a couple minutes. Let rest for 15-20 minutes if possible. Serve with fresh basil.

LOW-CARB ROASTED EGGPLANT MARINARA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
• Dice the two eggplants into approximately one inch cubes. (Peeling the eggplant first is a personal preference; I don't.) Toss the eggplant cubes with 2-4 Tbsp of olive oil; add salt and pepper to taste. Spread into a single layer on a baking sheet and pop into preheated oven. Roast until eggplant is tender and beginning to brown, 15-20 minutes.
• When eggplant is done roasting, pull out of the oven and top with crushed red pepper (if using), tomato sauce, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese. Place back in oven for approximately 10-15 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and starting to brown slightly. Serve with salad.
