Ingredients

• 1 large Eggplant
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 4 rolls Ciabatta bread
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 1 small Red onion
• 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the eggplant and cut it into ½-inch-thick rounds.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with the seasoned olive oil.

Step 4

Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown.

Step 5

While the eggplant is roasting, prepare the other sandwich components. Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.

Step 6

Mix mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl to create a tangy spread.

Step 7

Thinly slice the tomato and red onion.

Step 8

Once the eggplant is done roasting, assemble the sandwiches. Spread a tablespoon of the lemon mayo on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll.

Step 9

Layer each sandwich with roasted eggplant slices, fresh spinach leaves, tomato slices, red onion slices, and a slice of mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the top before capping the sandwiches with the top half of the rolls.

Step 11

Serve the sandwiches warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Scrumptious Easy Eggplant Sandwiches!
