Who doesn’t love to dig into a warm cozy plate of cheesy eggplant Parmesan? It’s comfort food at it’s finest, but it’s a dish most people don’t necessarily want to make at home to avoid all that deep frying and the dirtying of so many prep dishes. For this baked version, you can omit the frying and instead, bake the eggplant to crispy perfection. Then marinara sauce, fresh basil and plenty of shredded mozzarella are added to the eggplant rounds, and it’s done all in the same sheet pan for easier cleanup. This eggplant Parmesan is ready in about 45 minutes, start-to-finish, which makes it ideal for a quick, meatless weeknight dinner.
