Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.75 cup pizza or marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup pepperoni or your favorite pizza toppings

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
Wash the eggplant and cut it into round slices approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Arrange the eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Bake the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Step 5
Remove the eggplant from the oven and evenly spread a small spoonful of pizza or marinara sauce onto each slice.
Step 6
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Step 7
Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, sliced vegetables, or olives, on top of the cheese.
Step 8
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Once removed from the oven, garnish the mini pizzas with fresh basil, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
