I am very new to clean eating. The only vegetables I would eat were corn and potatoes and broccoli if it had cheese or ranch dressing on it. But for the last month I have been really focusing on the clean eating and experimenting on what I like and your website and youtube videos have played a huge part in my success. I am a visual person so your 101 videos are literally a God send. I had the Eggplant Pizza Rounds tonight and they were so good. I have never had or made eggplant before so I made a few minor mistakes but I am not a fan 🙂 Thank you so much for what you do 🙂 By the way…I have lost 8 lbs in 3 1/2 weeks :):)

I’m not an eggplant fan but I’m expanding my food choices to include eggplants and since this is sorta a pizza it bee much caught my eye! My question however is–if I don’t have a baking rack, could I cook the eggplants another way?
Dani says
You can place them right on baking sheet coated with olive oil, it will still get the job done.
Jessica says
hi,
i was just wondering, what could be served with this to make it a complete meal?
Dani says
We like to serve it with a big fat salad. IF you wanted a starch you an make some quinoa, brown rice, or brown rice pasta on the side.
