All the flavor of pizza, without the calories, carbs, or fat!

By using eggplant in place of dough for the crust you save a ton of carbs and by reducing the amount of cheese and using a low-fat version we save a ton of fat – so combine both of these and the calorie savings are huge!

In fact, there are only 115 calories and 3.5 grams of fat for 5 slices! Dig in to my Eggplant Pizza Rounds and, as always, enjoy!
 

INGREDIENTS
• 1 large eggplant, skin on, sliced into 1/3-inch round slices (approx. 20 slices)
• 1 tsp oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 3/4 cup marinara sauce (with approx. 60 calories per cup)
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
• 1/2 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded fresh basil leaves
• Cooking spray

 
PREPARATION
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

• Spray two large baking sheets with cooking spray. Set aside.

• Arrange eggplant slices onto the baking sheets. Lightly coat the top with non-stick cooking spray and then season with oregano, salt, and pepper.

• Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until they just start to turn tender (be very careful to not let them become too soft).

• Remove from the oven and spoon marinara sauce in the center of each eggplant slice and then top with sliced tomatoes, shredded basil and mozzarella cheese.

• Put back into the oven and broil (adjust your oven temp) until the cheese has melted and is nice and bubbly, approximately 5 minutes (note, if you like your pizza cheese golden brown, leave in for a bit longer – just watch so that they don’t burn). Enjoy!

NOTE: Feel free to add whatever toppings that you wish, such as grilled chicken, mushrooms, onions, etc.
