Eggplant Pepperoni Pizza

Eggplant Pepperoni Pizza 

When I first started on my postpartum weight-loss journey after my daughter, I was up all hours of the night which left me hungry and sluggish. I knew I needed to eat foods that would fill me up and give me fuel so that I could get through the day (or night). That is where Eggplant Pizza comes into play. The healthy fats from the mozzarella cheese and fiber from the eggplant help to keep you feeling full long after you finish your meal. This is also a great low carb option if you want pizza, but without the added blood sugar spike. What I love most about this dish is that I can have a HUGE portion for less calories than a bowl of pasta.

Here's how I make it:

2-4 Servings.

Ingredients:

2 Eggplants, sliced thin

1 Jar of your favorite tomato sauce 

1 package of turkey pepperoni 

1 package of part-skim mozzarella cheese 

Olive Oil Spray 

Red Pepper Flakes for topping

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice your eggplant into medallions, lightly spray with olive oil spray and roast in the oven for 12 minutes on each side. I like to use a big cookie sheet so I can fit more on at a time. Once your eggplant is roasted, add the sauce, cheese and pepperoni to each slice. Bake in the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted through. The whole family will love this one! So easy to make and seriously delicious. This makes great leftovers too!
