Ingredients
– 2 large eggplants, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
– 2 cups marinara sauce
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder
– 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush eggplant slices with olive oil and season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Arrange eggplant slices on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly golden.
3. In a greased baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Add a layer of roasted eggplant, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes.
5. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
