Base
  • 1 large eggplant cut into 1/2-inch slices

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange eggplant slices on the baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Bake for 12–15 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Remove from oven, spread each slice with marinara sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan, and add optional toppings like pepperoni.
  5. Return to oven for 5–7 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

For crispier slices, salt the eggplant and let it sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture before baking.
