Gluten-Free Baked Eggplant Parmesan

I made this Gluten-Free Baked Eggplant Parmesan for a friend recently and would you believe, I think it tastes better than traditional eggplant parmigiana! A lot of the gluten free options you can buy at the store are full of unusual ingredients, so it’s really great to be able to cater for my gluten free friends in a wholesome way.

This take on eggplant parmesan is so easy to make. Simply roast eggplant slices in the oven. While the eggplant is cooking, make a tomato based sauce. When you assemble the dish, layer the eggplant slices, tomato sauce and cheese. Bake until it is bubbling. Top tip: the cheese will be molten hot when it comes out of the oven, so you should let this dish cool for at least 10 minutes before serving!

To make my Gluten-Free Baked Eggplant Parmesan, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Gluten-Free Baked Eggplant Parmesan

1	Heat the oven and prepare 2 baking sheets	15
Preheat the oven to 400°F and coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
2	Roast the eggplant	20
Place the eggplant slices on the prepared pans and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until they are tender.
3	Cook onion and garlic	6
While the eggplant is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and fry gently for about 4 minutes until it is soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
4	Add tomatoes to make a sauce	5
Add the tomatoes, wine, basil, oregano, and the remaining salt and pepper. Once it simmers, reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens. Stir occasionally while cooking.
5	Assemble the eggplant parmesan	10
Spoon a cup of the sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer half the eggplant slices on the sauce. Add another layer of sauce and sprinkle half the mozzarella and half the Parmesan on top. Repeat the process to add another layer.
6	Bake	25
Bake for about 25 minutes. When it is read, the sauce should be bubbling around the edges and the cheese will be brown in places.
7	Allow to stand	10
Allow the eggplant parmesan to rest and cool for about 10 minutes.
8	Serve
Serve sprinkled with fresh aromatic basil leaves.
