Vegan Eggplant Subs

This eggplant sub was a variant from a recipe in Clean Eating Magazine.  It was super messy but really good.

Preheat your oven to broil. Take one eggplant and cut into thin slices.  Spray them with an olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with a little salt. Spread the slices onto a baking sheet and broil them, 6 minutes, flipping them over half way.

Change the temp of the oven to 350.  (This would be a good time to put in some green beans to roast. Toss them with olive oil, garlic, and a little salt.)

While the eggplant is cooking, make the sauce. In a sauce pan heat up 2 cloves minced garlic in a splash of oil until garlic is cooked. Add tomato sauce (I like to use Pomi.) Season it with Italian Seasoning Herb Blend and 2 tbsp Vegan Parmesan Cheese. Let it simmer for a about 10 minutes.

Cut a whole grain french bread baguettes into sandwich sized pieces.  Split them open and assemble the sandwiches. Place sauce on bottom slices, top with eggplant, a bit more sauce, and sprinkle with vegan mozzarella cheese. Put the top slice on and place in oven for about 10 minutes.

Ingredients used:
Eggplant
Extra virgin olive oil, spray and oil
Salt
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Pomi tomato puree
Galaxy Foods Vegan Parmesan Cheese
Daiya Mozzarella shreds
1 teaspoon Italian Season Blend…..or thereabouts…..I didn't measure
Whole grain french bread baguette from grocery store bakery
Fresh green beans for roasting (an alternative to french fries)
