Vegan Eggplant Pizza-Pies!

Hello!

So today I started my new job downtown Calgary, and I gotta say the most exciting part is this view right here:

Eggplant Pizza-Pies:

Oven heat 375

You need - 

Baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Large eggplant (not the chinese, long bright purple kind) 

Any kind of tomato sauce (jar of diced tomatoes works too!)

Olive oil

Onion

Basil- about 3 leaves chopped

Nutritional yeast (optional)

Bread crumbs (optional)

And now...

Cut that eggplant! 1/4 inch thick so they form large circles.

Place lying flat on the baking sheet, side by side, and plop them in the oven for ten minutes.

On medium heat up olive oil in sauce pan and add the onion and cook till it smells like a delicious Italian kitchen! (the onion is translucent)

Add tomato sauce + basil + nutritional yeast and allow sauce to bubble around edges. (about 5 mins)

Nutritional yeast should give it a delicious cheesy flavor so this is up to you if you would like to add it.

Last but not least.. do it up like a pizza!

Spread about a spoon full of that sassy sauce over your cute little eggplants. Bake that beauty in the oven for 5-7 mins and voila! 

Little tips- Before throwing in the oven add breadcrumbs to the top for a bit extra.

Cut the eggplant even thinner so that the edges will get crispier for a different version of them.

 You can then roll them up and eat, or let them cool and roll them up for lunch tomorrow! Sandwich one on top of the other

Hope you enjoy them :) 

Keeping it easy,
