Mini Eggplant Pizza

This is a very simple appetizer that can be used as an afternoon snack too. It takes less than 15 minutes to prepare! I love creating healthier alternatives to not-so-healthy meals. This mini eggplant pizza is super delicious and low in carbs. In this recipe, you can use a silicone baking sheet mat which doesn’t require any oil. I love cooking with them because they are easy to clean, save money on parchment paper/ cooking spray & you end up consuming less calories!
