Ingredients

• 1 large Eggplant
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 12 small Pepperoni slices
• 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Wash and dry the large eggplant. Slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Step 4

Bake the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they start to become tender.

Step 5

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce onto each eggplant slice, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Top each slice with shredded mozzarella cheese, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and a small slice of pepperoni.

Step 7

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

If desired, broil the pizzas for 1-2 minutes at the end to achieve a golden, bubbly finish.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Garnish each mini pizza with a fresh basil leaf, if using.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mini Eggplant Crust Pizzas!
