Ingredients

  

  • 2 large eggplants, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips
  • 3/4 cup(s) onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon(s) salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) pepper, divided
  • 2 cup(s) low-fat ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon(s) green onions, chopped
  • 2 1/2 cup(s) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup(s) reduced fat mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup(s) parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Sprinkle both sides of the peeled eggplant slices with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
  • Place strips of egg plant and the chopped onions on a non stick baking sheet, in a single layer, and bake for 5 to 7 minutes; turn the strips over and bake a little longer until the eggplant is slightly soft.
  • You should still be able to lift the slices but they should be soft.
  • Stir up the onions; they should be translucent.
  • If one is done before the other, take it out of the oven until both are cooked.
  • Mix together the ricotta, egg white, green onion and remaining salt and pepper.
  • Spread 1 1/2 cups of tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9×13″ ovenproof casserole.
  • Place a layer of eggplant and onion, using about one third.
  • Cover with half of the ricotta mixture.
  • Add another layer of veggies (1/3).
  • Cover with the rest of the ricotta.
  • Add the rest of the veggies.
  • Add the remaining tomato sauce on top.
  • Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour at 375 degrees.
  • Remove foil and bake another 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is nicely browned.
  • Ready in 1 hour 15 min prep.
