Cooking low carb can be time consuming. Sometimes when the hunger-monkeys are knocking on the door, something cheesy, delicious and super fast to make is the only answer.

When browsing through the supermarket shelves, as I do, for fun 😉 I found this awesome product by Granoro – a Napoletana sauce made with all natural ingredients, and it’s yummy too! If you don’t have this on hand, you can make a quick tomato sauce using good quality tinned tomatoes.

Quick Aubergine “Pizza” Slices (makes 5 – 8 slices)

Ingredients:

1 aubergine, cut into slices, lengthways
1 clove garlic
Olive oil for brushing onto the aubergine slices
1/2 bottle of Granoro Napoletana Sauce (185g) or homemade tomato sauce
100g grated mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme or basil
Optional chilli flakes

Method:

Heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
Brush olive oil onto aubergine slices
Rub the slices with garlic
Grill the aubergine slices for 5 to 10 minutes, until a knife inserts easily
Smother slices with Napoletana Sauce
Sprinkle with fresh thyme or basil, and chilli, if desired
Cover with grated cheese
And salt and pepper to taste
Grill in oven for 5 minutes until cheese has melted and turned golden
Serve as a quick snack, or with a salad, as a delicious lunch or light meal
