White Pizza Eggplant Nachos

4

Back when I was a teen and carbs had no meaning to me or my super fast metabolism, I used to love grabbing a slice of white pizza. The cheese and ricotta (without the red sauce) was so very appealing to me. Now that I’m older and carbs take on a whole new role, it’s recipes like this that keep a smile on my face. Eggplant is a wonderful vegetable and this recipe satiates the pizza craving in a low carb environment.

Another super simple recipe to make; just slice up your eggplant, sweat them out and roast. When that’s done, you simply brush with your garlic oil and then top with your cheeses and bake until gooey. This is one you won’t soon forget and will be making again and again on game day or any day.
