Eggplant Crust Mediterranean Style “Pizza”

Replacing pasta or dough with a vegetable alternative is a growing trend in the healthy-eating world – and one that can be very tasty!

For this recipe, instead of traditional pizza dough, I used a low-carb, gluten-free alternative: roasted eggplant slices… And the result was wonderful! It is like eating a fine thin crust pizza, but without the disadvantages of a traditional pizza dough.

For a paleo version of this recipe, remove the feta cheese, it is still very tasty.

I think what I like the most about this recipe is its low-calorie count: you can eat several of those without feeling guilty!
