Ingredients
- 1 Large eggplant
- 1/2 cup 'Sicilian Tomato and Garlic' World Peas Snacks (www.worldpeassnacks.com)
- 3 tablespoons Kodiak Power Mix
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Tomato Basil Mrs. Dash seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 Large whole eggs
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (** TOPPING **)
- 1/2 cup fat free mozzarella cheese (** TOPPING **)
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (** TOPPING **)
- 5-6 Large basil leaves (** TOPPING **)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Slice eggplant into 1/4" disks and place on a paper towel. Lightly pat eggplant to remove excess water. | |
| Step 3 | |
| In a small food processor, add World Peas snacks and all seasonings. Blend for 1-2 minutes until fairly smooth and only a few small chunks remain. Place contents in a small shallow dish or bowl. Add Kodiak Cakes mix to another small dish. Add eggs to a final small dish and beat slightly. These will serve as your "breading". | |
| Step 4 | |
| Begin coating eggplant by placing each disk first in flour, then in egg, and finally in World Peas & seasoning mix. Repeat with all eggplant disks. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Add olive oil to a small pan and set heat to medium. Carefully place each breaded eggplant disk into pan and cook on each side 3-4 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Once cooked, place eggplant on lined baking sheet. | |
| Step 6 | |
| Add marinara, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese to the tops of each eggplant. Broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted. Add chopped basil to garnish. | |
