Mini Aubergine Pizzas

Sneak some extra veggies into your family’s diet with these delicious Mini Aubergine or Eggplant Pizzas! 

Mini Aubergine Pizzas

With my family of pizza lovers I’m always looking for new ways to make it a little healthier for them. Don’t get me wrong, we still indulge in a big gooey cheesy pizza a couple of times a month but for a healthier alternative the rest of the time these Mini Aubergine Pizzas are a great choice.

Aubergines (or eggplant depending on where you’re from!) make a really good substitute for pizza base. Baking them for 10 minutes in the oven cooks them through so that they are soft enough to eat, yet they still remain firm enough to hold all the toppings.

You can pretty much use any toppings of your choice. But here’s what I used:

  • Aubergine as the base
  • Tomato or Pizza Sauce
  • Spinach
  • Cheese
  • Cherry Tomatoes

How To Make Aubergine Pizzas

STEP 1:

Cut the aubergine into round slices of approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Lay the slices on the baking tray and brush with a little olive oil. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

STEP 2:

When the aubergine slices have been cooked, transfer them onto a grill pan. Spread on some tomato or pizza sauce.

STEP 3:

Add a couple of leaves of spinach.

STEP 4:

Sprinkle on some cheese.

STEP 5:

Top with slices of cherry tomato.

STEP 6:

Place the pan under the grill for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese has melted, then serve immediately.

    I love the idea of hidden veggies in the sauce – my grandchildren hate mushrooms but love my pasta sauce.

    Now I’ve just started to get into aubergines, I can really appreciate these little pizzas of yours. They certainly look very appealing, so I think I might just give them a try.
