Gluten-Free Eggplant Parmesan

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gluten-Free Eggplant Parmesan.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and get a baking sheet ready by lining it with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   In a shallow bowl, pour in some gluten-free bread crumbs, creating a delightful coating for your eggplant.

3. Step 3

   Take each strip of eggplant and dip it into a bowl of beaten eggs, ensuring it’s well-coated, then roll it in the gluten-free bread crumbs until it’s fully covered.

4. Step 4

   Arrange these beautifully coated eggplant strips in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, and for a touch of flavor, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

5. Step 5

   Pop the baking sheet into the oven and let the eggplant bake for about 6 minutes.

6. Step 6

   When the timer goes off, carefully remove the baking sheet, flip each slice with a spatula, and give them a light brush of olive oil to enhance that golden finish.

   Return them to the oven and bake for another 6 minutes, or until they’re perfectly golden brown and irresistible.

8. Step 8

   Once your eggplant is beautifully baked, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
