INGREDIENTS
2 large eggplants, cut into 1/2″
rounds
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 c. marinara
1 c. shredded mozzarella
1/2 c. mini pepperoni
1/2 c. shredded Parmesan
1/4 c. finely sliced basil
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat grill to
medium-high. Brush both sides of eggplant with olive oil and season with salt
and pepper.
- Grill eggplant until tender
and slightly charred on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Top each round
with marinara, mozzarella and mini pepperoni. Keep the eggplant on the grill to
allow the cheese melt, about 30 seconds more. Remove eggplant from grill. Top
with Parmesan and basil and serve.
