Quick & Easy Eggplant Naan Pizzas
Instructions
1
|
Preheat oven to 425°F.
2
|
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
|
Arrange the naan on the baking sheet. Drizzle an equal amount of the olive oil over the surface of each piece.
4
|
Thinly slice the eggplant into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Cut each round in half.
5
|
Stack the basil leaves and roll into a tight log. Make very thin slices across the log to create ribbons.
6
|
Divide the pizza sauce equally on each naan piece and spread it into an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the sauce.
7
|
Spread eggplant slices evenly over each piece of naan, then add a sprinkling of shredded cheese, drops of ricotta cheese, and half of the basil ribbons. Reserve remaining basil for garnish.
8
|
Bake the pizzas on middle rack of oven until the naan is crisp and the cheese is bubbly and golden, 14-15 minutes.
9
|
Check to see that pizzas are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
10
|
Allow pizzas to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Top with reserved basil ribbons and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired. Slice and serve. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Eggplant Salting Technique 🧂Salt eggplant slices and let them sit for 15-20 minutes before cooking to draw out excess moisture and reduce bitterness, resulting in a crispier texture.
- Naan Crispiness Hack 🍞Lightly brush naan with olive oil and pre-toast it for 1-2 minutes before adding toppings to prevent sogginess and create a perfectly crisp base.
- Ricotta Dolloping Trick 🥄Use a warm, slightly oiled spoon to create smooth, easy-to-place ricotta dollops that won't stick and spread evenly across the pizza.
- Layering for Maximum Flavor 🧀Layer ingredients strategically: start with a thin sauce base, then roasted eggplant, followed by mozzarella, and finish with dollops of ricotta for optimal flavor distribution.
- Fresh Herb Finale 🌿Add fresh basil leaves immediately after removing from the oven to preserve their vibrant color and release maximum aromatic oils.
