Make gluten-free eggplant parmesan with expert tips. Our recipe ensures crispy, golden results using simple techniques. Perfect for a delicious, gluten-free Italian meal. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggplants, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Olive oil or avocado oil, for frying
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced or torn
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  • Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with the salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes. Pat the slices thoroughly dry with more paper towels.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs together. In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, ½ cup of grated Parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder.
  • Dip each dried eggplant slice first into the egg, letting any excess drip off, and then press it firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides.
  • Heat a generous layer of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the eggplant slices for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange a single layer of fried eggplant over the sauce. Spoon more sauce over the eggplant, then top with mozzarella and shredded Parmesan. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce and cheese.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
  • Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Notes
