Eggplant Pizza

Inspired by classic Margherita pizza, this bread-less pizza has fewer calories than regular pizzas, and it is perfect for any occasion. This recipe is using a store-bought marinara sauce, but you can always substitute it with your made-from-scratch marinara sauce.

Cook Time: 35 mins
