Eggplant Mini Pizzas

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 large eggplants
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pizza sauce
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Desired pizza toppings such as bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, onion, etc.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the tops and bottoms off the eggplant and discard them. Next, slice the eggplant to create 3/4-inch-thick rounds, aiming for consistent thickness.
  • Spread the eggplant pieces on a paper towel or a clean dish towel. Generously salt both sides of the eggplant slices and allow them to “sweat” for about 20 minutes. This will remove excess moisture from the eggplant and improve its texture.
  • Next, wipe off the salt and moisture from the eggplant. Arrange the eggplant slices flat on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
  • Remove eggplant slices from the oven. Spread pizza sauce on each slice, sprinkle cheese, and add desired toppings. Place back into the oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
