Description

Grandma believed in two things: don’t waste good olive oil, and never deep-fry when the oven can do the job. This eggplant parm is baked, not fried – but still bubbling, cheesy, and layered like a family feud. Crispy edges, soft centers, and tomato sauce that clings to every bite.

Advice

If you want it extra crispy, layer a sprinkle of breadcrumbs between the eggplant and cheese. Bonus crunch, zero regret.

Oven-baked eggplant parm with bubbling cheese and rich tomato sauce.
🍆 It’s light on oil but heavy on flavor.
