  • Author: Nora Bennett
  • Total Time: 11 minute

Ingredients

– 2 medium-sized eggplants
– 1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free, if desired)
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, etc.)
– Olive oil for brushing
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Making Low Carb Eggplant Pizza is easy if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat your oven: Set it to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking.
2. Prepare the eggplants: Slice the eggplants into rounds about ½ inch thick. Lay them out on a baking sheet lined with paper towels, sprinkle both sides with salt, and let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to draw out moisture.
3. Rinse and dry: After resting, rinse the eggplant slices thoroughly to remove excess salt and moisture. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
4. Arrange on a baking sheet: Place the eggplant slices on another lined baking sheet. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
5. Bake the bases: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they become tender and slightly golden.
6. Add the sauce: Remove the eggplants from the oven and spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on top of each slice.
7. Season: Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly over the sauce.
8. Add cheese: Generously top each slice with mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
9. Customize toppings: Add your favorite toppings on each slice, such as pepperoni, bell peppers, or vegetables.
10. Bake again: Place the baking sheet back in the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Cool slightly: Once done, remove from the oven and let the pizza sit for about 5-10 minutes to cool.
12. Garnish and serve: Add fresh basil as a garnish, if desired, and serve hot.

These simple steps will lead you to a delightful and satisfying Low Carb Eggplant Pizza that everyone will love.
