Ingredients:

  • 1 (28 oz.) can Dei Fratelli Tomato Sauce
  • 1 3/4 Cups Water
  • 2 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. Tapioca Starch
  • 1/2 Cup Gluten-Free Flour
  • 1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
  • 1 medium Eggplant, peeled and sliced into 3/8" rounds
  • 1/2 Cup Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs
  • 2 Tbsp. Plant-Based Parmesan, grated
  • 3/4 tsp. Italian Seasoning
  • 3/4 tsp. Oregano
  • 2 Cups White Rice, cooked
  • 4 Basil Leaves, torn

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Gather three bowls. In one bowl combine the gluten-free flour, 1 Tbsp. tapioca starch, and 1/4 tsp. sea salt. In another bowl, combine half of the Dei Fratelli Tomato Sauce, water, and remaining tapioca starch. In the last bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the parmesan and 1/4 tsp. of sea salt.
  • Coat the eggplant rounds first in the flour, then the sauce, and then the breadcrumb mixture. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Then flip the eggplants onto the other side and bake an additional 15 minutes.
  • While the eggplant is baking, bring the remaining sauce to a gentle simmer and add the Italian seasoning and oregano. Cook for 5 minutes and add salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve the eggplant over rice. Garnish with torn basil.

Chef's Tip:

Melt a piece of plant-based mozzarella cheese on each slice of eggplant in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
