Keto Healthy Baked Eggplant Parmesan. So filling and flavorful that your entire family will eat it up – and that it’s gluten-free and super healthy, they won’t even notice!

Healthy Baked Eggplant Parmesan

Sometimes I can’t even believe it is healthy for me because recipe tastes so amazing.

For a taste that feels like comfort food at its finest, all the melted cheese and marinara sauce mix with the seasonings.

Plus, without having to use any gluten or flour, the almond flour breading leaves the eggplant perfectly crispy.

Try my baked shrimp with garlic and parmesan if you want something that has meat in it. With the same unmistakable flavor of parmesan, it’s a light meal.
