Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Sized Eggplants
  • 6 cups of Spinach
  • 1 14 oz jar of Pizza Sauce
  • 2 small garlic cloves or 1 large garlic clove minced
  • 1/3 cup diced yellow onion Onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil olive oil spray for tops of eggplant
  • 12 oz bag of mozzarella cheese
  • Favorite Pizza Seasoning
  • Any other scrumptious pizza toppings that are your favorite! Stick to veggies if you are wanting this a meatless meal or throw some pepperonis on top like pictured. Either way, these are so much fun to make because like pizza you can customize your own deep dish!

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice your eggplant lengthwise. Then with your knife start to core out the centers where the seed & flesh are. Leave about 1/4-1/2 of an inch around the sides of the flesh. ( tip: flip the egg plant over and slice a bit off the round bottom, in order to have them eggplants lay more flat on the baking sheet)
  • Spray with olive oil baking spray and sprinkle with pizza seasoning. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
  • While your eggplants are baking you will start on your deep dish filling. In a medium sized frying pan add olive oil, minced garlic, chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Then add in the fresh spinach and cook down. You may need to add it in batches, the spinach will wilt down fast. Once all the spinach is cooked down, add the jar of pizza sauce and mix until full incorporated.
  • Once the eggplant is done baking, evenly distribute the deep dish filling in each half of the eggplants. Then sprinkle with cheese. Add any of the other toppings you'd want too, like sliced black olives, pepperonis, onions, green peppers etc.
  • Place back in the oven for 15 more minutes. Then place on high broil for 2 minutes or until the tops start to get nice and bubbly.
  • Take out of the oven, sprinkle with parmesan, slice and enjoy!

Notes

The nutrition facts do not include the mozzarella, you may not use all of the mozzarella, but depending on how much you want. I suggest getting 12 oz just in case!
