Low-Carb Roasted Eggplant Marinara image

Having been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, I have had to improvise some rather creative dinners. This was one I threw together one night on a whim, and it turned out great!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 -2 large eggplant
2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 -2 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce (your choice)
1 -2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded lowfat mozzarella cheese or 1 cup Italian cheese blend

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.
