Steps:
- In a colander, toss eggplant with 2 teaspoons salt. Let stand 30 minutes. Arrange slices in a single layer on a dish towel and roll up tightly to extract excess water.
- Meanwhile, in a medium pot, bring tomatoes and garlic to a boil. Reduce heat and cook at a rapid simmer until thickened, 30 minutes.
- In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Put flour and eggs in two more shallow dishes. Coat eggplant in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Coat with breadcrumbs.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large straight-sided skillet, heat oil over medium-high (a few breadcrumbs should sizzle when added). In batches, fry eggplant until golden brown and tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
- Spread 1 cup tomato sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with half the eggplant, overlapping slices slightly, 2 cups sauce, and half the mozzarella. Repeat with remaining eggplant, sauce, and mozzarella, then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray. In a shallow bowl, whisk together almond flour, ½ cup Parmesan, Italian seasoning and ½ teaspoon sea salt.
- In another shallow bowl, whisk eggs with 2 Tablespoons water and sprinkle on a little salt and pepper.
- Dip an eggplant slice into the egg wash and let any excess drip off. Then sprinkle the almond flour parmesan mixture over each side of the eggplant slice. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat to coat all eggplant slices. NOTE: Be sure to sprinkle the mixture on rather than dredging the wet eggplant slices into the almond flour mixture. This keeps the dry mixture from getting too wet, which results in a clumpy mixture that won't stick to the eggplant!
- Spray tops lightly with cooking spray.
- Bake until soft inside, and golden and crisp on the outside, about 30 minutes, flipping around the 15 minute mark.
- In a large baking dish (I used 9x11), add 1 cup of marinara and spread evenly. Add an even layer of baked eggplant slices. If needed, you can cut some of the slices in half to fill the baking dish. Add another 1 cup of sauce and spread evenly over eggplant slices. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella, ¼ cup of the remaining Parmesan and 1/4 cup fresh basil. Top with another layer of baked eggplant slices and spread on 1 cup of sauce. Top with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup parmesan and remaining fresh basil.
- Bake, uncovered, until top is bubbly and golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.

- Has Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects. As mentioned above, one of the most studied eggplant health benefits is this veggie’s rich source of antioxidants.
- Helps Protect Against Cancer. It’s believed that there are 13 types of protective phenolic acids present at significant levels within eggplant. Different types of eggplants have varying levels of antioxidants and phytonutrients, but all share similar qualities in their ability to fight cancer.
- Helps Lower High Cholesterol and Blood Pressure. Studies show that eggplant has anti-hypertensive effects and can be beneficial for heart health due to its ability to fight inflammation and oxidative stress.

7 SURPRISING HEALTH BENEFITS OF EGGPLANTS
From healthline.com
Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Rich in Many Nutrients. Eggplants are a nutrient-dense food, meaning they contain a good amount of vitamins, minerals and fiber in few calories. One cup (82 grams) of raw eggplant contains the following nutrients (2)
- High in Antioxidants. In addition to containing a variety of vitamins and minerals, eggplants boast a high number of antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that help protect the body from damage caused by harmful substances known as free radicals (3).
- May Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease. Thanks to their antioxidant content, some studies suggest that eggplants may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
- May Promote Blood Sugar Control. Adding eggplants to your diet may help keep your blood sugar in check. This is primarily because eggplants are high in fiber, which passes through the digestive system intact (11).
- Could Help With Weight Loss. Eggplants are high in fiber and low in calories, making them an excellent addition to any weight loss regimen. Fiber moves through the digestive tract slowly and can promote fullness and satiety, reducing calorie intake (16).
- May Have Cancer-Fighting Benefits. Eggplant contains several substances that show potential in fighting cancer cells. For instance, solasodine rhamnosyl glycosides (SRGs) are a type of compound found in some nightshade plants, including eggplant.
- Very Easy to Add to Your Diet. Eggplant is incredibly versatile and can be easily incorporated into your diet. It can be baked, roasted, grilled or sautéed and enjoyed with a drizzle of olive oil and a quick dash of seasoning.

- Smoky Eggplant Dip. Eggplant dips are common throughout the Mediterranean for good reason: they're as delicious as they are easy to prepare. While some dips, such as baba ganoush, are blended with tahini or even mayo, this one relies on Greek yogurt (or labneh if you have it) for extra richness.
- Piccante Eggplant Sauce. The roasted eggplant and mushrooms in this recipe (which is vegan, incidentally) practically melt into the garlicky tomato and chili sauce base, making it equal parts dip and sandwich spread.
- Baigan Chokha. Eggplant is one of those vegetables that absolutely lives for high heat, and in this easy eggplant recipe, the veg gets blasted beneath a broiler for maximum smoky goodness.
- Grilled Ratatouille Pasta Salad. This is not the ratatouille made famous by the eponymous film, but we dare say it's just as good. Grilling the eggplant and zucchini adds a smoky depth of flavor, which is a perfect partner for hot pasta, fresh tomatoes, herbs, and mozzarella.
- Grilled Eggplant With Garlicky Tahini-Yogurt Sauce. Grilled eggplant and tahini are soulmates, forever entwined by some kind of primordial cosmic love. The charred, crispy eggplant skins simply cry out for the cool, rich creaminess of a yogurt-tahini sauce, which melts into the soft flesh of the eggplant after it's been cooked.
- Grilled Whole Eggplant with Harissa Vinaigrette. You want a simple, easy eggplant recipe that makes full use of this versatile vegetable? Cook the whole thing, unpeeled and uncut, in the glowing embers of charcoal after you've done the rest of your grilling, and dress it simply with a spicy, herb-flecked vinaigrette.
- Whole Grilled Japanese Eggplant with Lemon and Soy Sauce. One of the great things about eggplant is that it comes in many shapes and forms. Skinnier and suppler than their Italian counterparts, Japanese eggplants cook quickly and feature a thinner skin that crisps up nicely on the grill.
- Eggplant and Mushroom Tahcheen. Tahcheen is traditionally made with poached chicken, but this vegetarian alternative swaps in rich and earthy portobello mushrooms and meaty eggplants.
- Simple Shrimp, Coconut and Eggplant Curry. We love a one-pot recipe, and this eggplant dish is a perfect example. Shrimp and eggplant simmer in a coconut milk broth that's loaded with fresh ginger and a raft of spices, including garam masala, turmeric, cumin, and coriander.
- BA's Best Eggplant Parmesan. It's a classic for a reason. Breaded eggplant slices, gently fried and then covered with marinara and mozzarella—what's not to love?
