Avocado oil spray for the pan
¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1 large eggplant (1 ¼ pound), unpeeled
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 c shredded part-skim Mozzarella, divided (4 ounces)
¼ tsp black peppers
½ c marinara sauce
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Prepare the oven and preheat it to 250 degrees C or 500 degrees F.
Line the inside of a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, then apply avocado cooking spray on it.
Cut the eggplant into 1/4-inch round slices. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet and arrange them in a single layer.
Coat the eggplant slices with avocado oil, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the eggplant slices for about 15 minutes. Turn them over and coat them with cooking spray once more. Bake for additional 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven.
Turn the heat of the oven down to 425 degrees F.
Apply cooking spray to a 1-quart casserole dish, then move 1/2 of the roasted eggplant slices into it. Top with 1/2 of the marinara sauce and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the process with the rest of the ingredients until everything is arranged in layers.
Bake the casserole for about 15 minutes or until the cheese turns golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the Cheesy Eggplant Casserole to cool for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Serve and enjoy!
