A Healthy Twist on Pizza: How to Make Easy Eggplant Pizzas! by Donna John

Love eggplant? Love pizza? Make eggplant pizzas! 

You'll need:

• 1 large eggplant, cut into 1/4 inch slices
• 1 tablespoon salt
• olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella, shredded
• cherry tomatoes, cut in half
• chopped fresh basil 

Here’s how you make it:

1. Place the eggplant in a colander and sprinkle with the salt. Allow to sit for about 20 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Put the eggplant on a cookie sheet or pizza stone and brush with olive oil.
3. Roast the eggplant in a 400-degree F oven until it just starts to turn tender, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Spread the marina sauce on top of the eggplant, then top with cheese and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with a little more cheese and the chopped basil. 
5. Put back into the oven for about 5 more minutes.
