By splitting and roasting these babies face-down, the eggplant gets velvety soft. While that’s happening, you make the quickest, tastiest tomato sauce so when the eggplants are ready you just spoon the chili sauce right on top, cheese it up (no breading!), broil, and your low-carb/keto Eggplant Parm Boats are ready.
Roast whole eggplants in the oven, then slice them lengthwise and fill with delicious parm ingredients like marinara, mozzarella, and fresh basil.
