This baked Italian eggplant dish is sure to please vegetarians and meat lovers. Grilled eggplant is layered with a flavourful tomato sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and chilli, and baked with Mozzarella and Parmesan for a deliciously cheesy crust. It's a sheet pan version of Eggplant Parmigiana.
For a dairy-free version, repeat all the steps but instead of topping the bake with cheese, bake the eggplant without it on top for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with crushed almonds and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the nuts are toasted. Sprinkle with fresh basil. This would be suitable for Paleo, Whole30, and vegan diets. Alternatively, use a plant-based cheese alternative.
