Thought I would share this great recipe from the Tastefully Simple blog
Sneaky Margherita Pizza
Yield: 4-6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb. eggplant peeled and sliced into rounds, 1/4 inch rounds
- 2 Tbsp. Roasted Garlic Infused Oil
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. Mama Mia™ Marinara Sauce Mix
- 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 8 oz. mozzarella cheese fresh or shredded
- 10 basil leaves chopped
Instructions
- Blend
the marinara mix with the tomato sauce. Preheat oven to 350°. Place
the eggplant slices on a baking sheet; prick with a fork and sprinkle
with salt. Let stand 30 minutes, to reduce bitterness and release some
of the water. Brush with oil and bake for 10 minutes. Then flip the
eggplant slices, brush with oil and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove
the slices from the oven, top with prepared tomato sauce, chopped or
shredded cheese and a little fresh basil. Return to oven for 10 more
minutes.
Tips & Hints
• You don’t have to peel the eggplant…but if you do, you will dramatically increase the odds that your kids won’t notice the eggplant crust!• There are just 35 calories in a cup of eggplant…so you can eat LOTS of this pizza without worry!
• Feel free to add any of your favorite pizza toppings – we made some with chopped olives and some with roasted red pepper. Delish!
• Warm any leftovers the next day in a non-stick pan.
