Ingredients
Directions
10 STEPS
1
Wash the eggplant and trim off the green end. Slice eggplant into 1/2 inch disks.
2
Place eggplant slices in a colander or cooling rack set over a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 30 minutes.
3
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
4
In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
5
Dip each eggplant slice into butter and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring full coverage. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
6
Bake eggplant slices for 15 minutes, then flip each slice and bake for an additional 7 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
7
Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a 2-quart casserole dish, spread 1 cup crushed tomatoes at the bottom, and season with remaining Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
8
Layer half of the baked eggplant slices over the sauce, followed by 1 cup crushed tomatoes.
9
Layer remaining eggplant slices, and top with grated mozzarella cheese and remaining shredded Parmesan cheese.
10
Bake for 15 minutes or until it bubbles on the edges and cheese is melted.
