Eggplant Parmesan Sandwiches

Ingredients 
  • 3 Sprouted Grain Burger Buns
  • Large eggplant, sliced into 6 pieces
  • 1 cup of marinara
  • 6 slices of fresh mozzarella
  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp of Italian seasoning
  • Olive oil, to drizzle
  • ½ cup of fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
Directions 

Preheat oven to 375º Fahrenheit.

Slice eggplant into 6 rounds. Toss with olive oil then season with 1 tsp sea salt, ½ tsp pepper, 1 tsp of Italian seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp of nutritional yeast.

Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and browned. Set aside.

Turn the oven to low broil and lightly toast 3 burger buns.

Add 2 pieces of roasted eggplant to each bottom bun. Spoon over ⅓ cup of marinara until it covers each eggplant. Top with slices of fresh mozzarella.

Place the open sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil in the oven until cheese is melted and slightly browned, 3-5 minutes.

Remove from the oven, add fresh basil leaves, and add the top bun. Enjoy immediately. This recipe makes 3 sandwiches.
