Eggplant Parmesan is a simple yet delicious way to eat healthy and lose weight. This eggplant Parmesan recipe will have you falling in love with this hidden gem of a vegetable.

Ingredients:

1 eggplant sliced into 1/2 inch rounds

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon garlic powder (or to taste)

1 small onion (chopped)

3 cloves garlic (chopped)

2 small tomatoes (chopped)

1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)

3/4 cup tomato paste sauce

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes Servings: 4

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush eggplant slices with olive oil on both sides, and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle garlic powder over the top. Bake for 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, tomatoes and spinach. Cook and stir for a few minutes until fragrant, and the tomatoes have released their juices. In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
Place the eggplant slices in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with the spinach mixture. Spoon the cheese mixture over the spinach, and spread into a thin layer. Pour the spaghetti sauce over the cheese layer. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until heated through and the eggplant is easily pierced with a fork.
