Gluten Free Eggplant Parmesan
It’s Farmers Market Week! I just love all the fresh produce of summertime, don’t you? It’s been a while since I’ve posted a new recipe but what could be better than a glorious comeback with a farmers’ market classic: a Gluten Free Eggplant Parmesan. Such a delicious, easy, Italian meal that screams summer to me!
That deep purple color of eggplant. The crispy outside. The fresh herbs. The tangy Parmesan. Eggplant Parmesan is just the best. And it’s really easy to make! You can even make it grain free if you wanted. I have a really old recipe for that too, if you’re so inclined. Find that recipe here: Almond Encrusted Eggplant Parmesan. But this recipe is what I use most often. It utilizes Aleia’s gf panko crumbs which just give these slices of eggplant the most delicious crunch. It’s also lactose free as it skips the dairy heavy mozzarella in favor of Parmesan. Mmm, bellissimo! Try this gluten free eggplant Parmesan recipe. You absolutely won’t regret it.
