Preparation Steps
1. Prepare the Eggplant
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for 20 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.
2. Roast the Eggplant
Drizzle the cut side of the eggplant with olive oil and place it cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, until tender. Let cool, then scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
3. Mix the Ingredients
In the bowl with the eggplant flesh, add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until combined.
4. Form the Meatballs
Shape the mixture into 5 meatballs and place them on a greased baking sheet.
5. Bake the Meatballs
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
6. Serve
Heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan. Serve the eggplant meatballs topped with warm marinara sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
