Try my Healthy Eggplant Parmesan Recipe that’s free of cow’s milk and white flour yet delicious and easy as pie to make.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 eggplant
  • 4 tablespoons Paleo flour
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ½ cup grated or shredded Pecorino Romano
  • 13 ounces organic marinara sauce
  • sea salt, to taste and to sprinkle on top
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Cut across the eggplant for one-inch thick pieces, after cutting off the ends.
  2. Put the Paleo flour in a bowl and coat both sides of each eggplant slice.
  3. Melt coconut oil over medium heat in a big saucepan, then add the eggplant slices. Sauté each slice for five minutes on each side. Add a little more coconut oil when you flip the eggplant.
  4. Heat up the marinara sauce in a pan at low to medium heat.
  5. Move the eggplant to a plate, one slice a time. Spoon on the marinara sauce, layer on the basil leaves and then follow with the grated Pecorino Romano for each slice, leaving plenty of sauce and cheese for on top.
