Healthy Eggplant Parmesan

1 tbsp olive oil
2 medium eggplant, cut into rounds
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
16 oz marinara sauce (look for low sugar)
1 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese (can also use half  Parmesan cheese)
1/4 cup fresh basil

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2.  Cover 2 baking sheets with foil and spray with cooking spray.  Place the eggplant in a single layer on the baking sheets.  Brush with olive oil.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.  Then sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
3.  Bake for 20-25 minutes until softened.
4.  Meanwhile, coat an 8x8 glass baking dish with cooking spray.  Add about 1/3d of the sauce to the bottom. Add more sauce, another layer of eggplant, more sauce, and sprinkle the remaining cheese to top.
5.  Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.  Remove foil and let cheese brown if desired.  Serve with fresh basil.
