Ingredients

scaled from 6 servings
  • 1 medium eggplant, sliced 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1/4 cup parmesan, grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • to taste black pepper

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Lay eggplant on 2 sheet pans, brush both sides with olive oil, salt generously. Roast 20 min, flipping halfway.
  2. While the eggplant roasts, warm the marinara in a saucepan. Spread 1 cup in a 9x13 baking dish; layer hot eggplant, warm sauce, mozzarella, parmesan. Repeat.
  3. Bake at 425°F for 10–12 min — everything is already hot, so it only needs the cheese melted and the edges bubbling.
  4. Rest 3 min. Tear basil over the top; serve.
