The recipe featured in today's #cookingvlog:

Eggplant Parmesan

1 medium sized eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
sea salt
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup grated dairy free parmesan
1/2 cup potato starch (or flour)
1 cup JUSTEgg (or plant milk)
Cooking spray
2 cups red sauce (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEFNV4JPIlA)
1/4 cup shredded dairy free mozzarella
1/4 cup liquid dairy free mozzarella
cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
fresh basil leaves for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Sprinkle eggplant rounds with sea salt. Place them on a kitchen towel and set aside for 15 minutes in order to "sweat" out excess liquid. Pat dry with kitchen towel.
3. Stir onion powder, garlic powder, pinch of sea salt, and 1 tablespoon grated parmesan with breadcrumbs.
4. Dip each slice of eggplant in (a) potato starch, (b) JUSTEgg, and (c) breadcrumbs. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Spray the eggplant rounds with cooking spray and place them in the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
6. Increase the oven temperature to 400 F.
7. To a 9 x 9-inch baking dish, add half the red sauce until the entire bottom is covered. Add a layer of eggplant. Top with both kinds of mozzarella cheeses and cracked black pepper. Repeat (sauce + eggplant + cheeses).
8. Top with cracked black pepper, grated parmesan, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes, until the cheese begins to brown.
9. Garnish with fresh basil, more black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
