by

Ingredients:

  • 1 large eggplant, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (choose a lower-sugar option for fewer points)
  • 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lay out the eggplant and zucchini slices on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Allow them to sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  3. After 15 minutes, pat the slices dry with paper towels.
  4. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the eggplant and zucchini slices until they are slightly tender and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Place a layer of eggplant and zucchini slices on top.
  6. Sprinkle with a portion of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
  7. Sprinkle dried oregano and basil over the top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
