With a large eggplant and a few common ingredients, you can make pizzas in under 30 minutes without the carb-heavy crust. Although a pizzette, or little pizza, is typically made with marinara sauce and a traditional crust, this recipe instead uses fresh tomatoes and eggplants for a summery take on this classic snack.
Craving pizza but don’t want all the extra calories? This is a unique twist on a traditional pizza. Eggplant pizzette uses eggplant as the crust and is topped with all the fresh veggies that give it a traditional pizza flavor. This can be served as a delicious appetizer, side dish, or snack. It is vegetarian and gluten-free and a great way to get your daily serving of vegetables.
By adding traditional herbs like fresh basil and oregano to the cheese and fresh tomatoes, your palate will be satisfied as if you are eating regular pizza. If you have kids, this is a simple snack that they will love, and it only takes minutes to prepare!
