A delightful twist on pizza, these eggplant pizza bites are perfect for a quick and healthy snack.
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Try to cut the slices evenly for consistent cooking.
Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Use a brush for even distribution of the oil and seasoning.
Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Flip the slices carefully to avoid breaking them.
Spread a spoonful of tomato sauce on each baked eggplant slice and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Add your favorite toppings for extra flavor.
Return the topped eggplant slices to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent over-browning.
Serve the eggplant pizza bites warm and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a touch of color and flavor.
