Your Low-Carb Eggplant Pizza recipe sounds absolutely delicious and is a wonderful way to enjoy a healthier twist on a classic favorite! The roasted eggplant as a base is a fantastic low-carb alternative, and the combination of marinara, melted cheeses, and toppings makes it a satisfying meal.
A Few Extra Tips & Ideas to Enhance Your Recipe:
Prepping the Eggplant:
To reduce bitterness, you can sprinkle the eggplant slices with salt and let them sit for 10-15 minutes before roasting. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture—this also helps them crisp up better.
For extra firmness, you can lightly press the roasted eggplant slices between paper towels before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
Cheese Variations:
Try adding a sprinkle of goat cheese or gorgonzola for a tangy twist.
A mix of smoked mozzarella and sharp cheddar can add depth of flavor.
Low-Carb Sauce Options:
Use a sugar-free marinara or homemade tomato sauce to keep carbs minimal.
For a creamy alternative, try pesto sauce or alfredo sauce (made with heavy cream and Parmesan).
