Green onions chopped to garnish plate

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Place eggplant in a colander and salt generously. Let sit for at least 1 hour. (This is to reduce any bitterness and make the eggplant less spongy which reduces the amount of oil that it will absorb). Rinse off salt and pat eggplant dry.

* Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a baking dish with non stick spray

* Step 3

Set up dredging station. Mix flour and seasoning in one bowl. In another bowl whisk the eggs. In a third bowl mix the breadcrumbs and Romano cheese. Dip eggplant in the flour bowl, then egg wash and then breadcrumbs.

* Step 4

Fry in a pan with hot oil, 1/4” deep, until golden brown on both sides. Remove and place on a paper towel.

* Step 5

Spread about 1/2 the marinara sauce on bottom of baking dish. Layer the dish with the eggplant. Pour remaining marinara sauce over the eggplant.

* Step 6

Top with basil, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, pepperoni, and oregano. Put in oven and cook until cheese is melted and browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

* Step 7

Plate eggplant parmesan with pasta. Garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes. Serve and enjoy. You may want to serve with additional sauce, especially if serving with pasta.
