Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Spread eggplant on baking sheet. Sprinkle eggplant with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

Bake eggplant for 20 minutes flipping halfway in-between.

When eggplant is lightly brown and softened, remove from oven.

Evenly layer the following ingredients in a ramekin: 2 slices of eggplant, 1 Tbsp. sauce, and 1 Tbsp. mozzarella cheese. Continue layering with remaining eggplant slices, tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese.

Cover ramekin with foil and bake for 10 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Remove cover and bake for about 5 minutes, until cheese has completely melted and is lightly browned.
