Low carb eggplant parmesan bites are an easy snack to make, and you could even get your children to sprinkle their own herbs or spices on their slices. You could even treat these like mini pizza bases? I used rosemary, parsley and thyme, but other flavors you might like to try are ::
Ingredients
Herb and cheese crust
Instructions
Place the sliced eggplants on an oiled baking tray, sprinkle each slice with salt and pepper.
Low carb eggplant parmesan bites are an easy snack to make, and you could even get your children to sprinkle their own herbs or spices on their slices. You could even treat these like mini pizza bases? I used rosemary, parsley and thyme, but other flavors you might like to try are ::
- lemon and rosemary
- garlic and sun dried tomatoes
- chili flakes
- pepperoni pieces and olives
Ingredients
- 1 eggplant/aubergine sliced
- salt/pepper to taste
- 1 egg lightly beaten
Herb and cheese crust
- 1/4 cup almond meal/flour
- 1 tbsp dried herbs of choice I used rosemary and thyme
- 1/2 cup grated/shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup grated/shredded parmesan
Instructions
Place the sliced eggplants on an oiled baking tray, sprinkle each slice with salt and pepper.
- Grill (medium) or bake 180C/350F until browned.
- While the eggplants are baking, mix all the herb and cheese crust ingredients in a small bowl.
- Remove from the oven and turn each slice over and sprinkle with more salt and pepper.
- Grill until just turning browned and cooked. I like my eggplant to be slightly firm as they can easily turn incredibly soft if cooked for too long and more difficult to hold.
- Remove from the oven.
- Brush the top of each eggplant slice with the beaten egg.
- Sprinkle with the herb and cheese crust then place back in the oven/grill until the cheese is just melted and beginning to brown.
- Serve with sour cream, salted yogurt or garlic mayonnaise as a side sauce.
