Roasted Eggplant Pizza Bites


Have lots of summer veggies you're looking to get rid of?

Well, one option would be to drop them all off at my house and I will eat them for you. Your second option would be to make these delicious Eggplant Pizza Bites. They're super simple and make a great appetizer or summer entree.

Roasted Eggplant Pizza Bites

1 large eggplant
1 tbs salt
3 vine-ripened tomatoes
A handful of fresh basil, chopped
3 oz fresh goat milk feta (or cheese of choice)
1 tbs Italian seasoning
1/2 tbs crushed red pepper
Marinara (optional)

Slice eggplant in 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle eggplant slices generously with salt and allow for liquid to draw out. After 30 minutes, use paper towels to wipe salt and water from eggplant slices. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Slice tomatoes in 1/4 inch slices. Top each eggplant slice with a tomato, fresh basil and cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper (adjust amount based on preference for spice). Place back in the oven for 10 minutes. Serve with a side of marinara for dipping. 



Enjoy!
