Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 1 tablespoon salt (to draw out moisture)
- 3 cloves garlic minced or crushed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling and flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (for that pizza flavor)
- 1 cup pizza sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
- Sprinkle salt generously over both sides of the eggplant slices. Let sit for about 15-20 minutes, then rinse and pat dry.

- Place the seasoned eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Spoon a dollop of pizza sauce onto each roasted slice, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes, garnish if desired, and serve warm.
