Eggplant Parmesan

★★★★½ (4.6)

Layers of crispy breaded eggplant, tangy marinara, and melted mozzarella baked until bubbling. A meatless main that satisfies just as much as its chicken cousin.

  • Meatless main course that still feels hearty and indulgent
  • Crispy fried eggplant layers hold up well under the sauce
  • Great make-ahead dish that reheats beautifully
  • 2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • 1 tbsp salt (for sweating eggplant)
  • +9 more ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs
  1. Lay the eggplant slices on a large baking sheet or clean towels in a single layer, sprinkle both sides with 1 tbsp salt, and let sit 30 minutes; this draws out excess moisture and bitterness so the eggplant fries up crisp instead of soggy.

Continue simmering until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon.

Rest the dish for five minutes before serving with your favorite side.
